Why would ANYONE enter into a trade agreement, now or in the future, with the united states, if every four years they can just rip up the agreement or put bullshit tariff policies in place on a whim. Unchecked and unstoppable by their elected leaders. It would be foolish at best.

A meme of a popular trope from the office. On the top are two sheets of paper being viewed from the top down. The left hand paper has the words in quotes “drill baby drill” the paper on the right has the words “build Canada”-that is the top half of the image. The bottom half is a woman sitting on the right hand side of the image wearing a white blouse and a pink cardigan. She has shoulder length hair that is half up and half down. She is looking directly at the viewer. There is a barely alive plant on the left side of the image.
