If this is about the s.232 side letter, ask him what the U.S. obligations are, and if they've even attempted to meet them.

Not sure why this info needed to be leaked today. He's sitting out World Cup games on home soil. Maybe have a private chat when he gets back to Munich?

As insane as this is, it's also instructive: 1. Placate a bully, and you'll encourage him to hit you again 2. Trump's trade deals are worthless 3. US "emergency"/natsec tariffs are a joke & clear example of why unbounded exec power is bad (cc: SCOTUS) 4. Hey Congress: DO YOUR 🤬 JOB

With all due respect to the Ambassador, "never say never" is not the President moving on. This is a live issue and he's going to be asked to comment on it until he convinces the President to stop threatening our sovereignty. The ball is in their court, not ours.

At this point, responsible parents need to have "the talk" with young Leaf fans to ensure their expectations are appropriately aligned. (Aside: feel free to prove me wrong, Leafs.)

People are overthinking this. Trump believes tariffs will make the US rich by protecting domestic industry from competition, raising revenue, and providing negotiating leverage. He's wrong about them making the US rich, but that's what he believes. It's not more complicated than that.

/ Trump warning against retaliation underscores key point: trade retaliation will disproportionately hit his supporters In part because they disproportionately come from target-rich farm states And because his supporters are the rare Americans who favor tariffs on Canada. Making them a ripe target
