Last night, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined Canada’s response to Trump’s 25% tariff: a “tit-for-tat” 25% Canadian tariff on $155 billion worth of US exports.
Clearly, neither Canada nor Mexico is backing down in the trade fight with the US. As I’ve said many times before, North America is at a turning point, and the entire region is undergoing a " reintegration process.”
