Foreign government's have an easy solution to solve the problem.
Don't unfairly advantage your goods and services against American products and we won't do the same. Free trade shouldn't mean "Free trade for one side". Free trade should be contingent on reciprocity, both in terms of social and economic alignment.
- BLKNSLVR 2y agoTrump signed the trade deal with Canada in his first term. Now he's calling it unfair. Trump stated that the Canadian tariffs were a reaction to fentanyl crossing the Canadian border into the US. That has nothing to do with trade fairness or Canadian protectionism.

Not based on some kind of dick waving contest that's happening in the corridors of power. By now it's clear that "fair" in this administration is defined by whoever is the biggest bully in the room, so > unfairly advantage your goods and services against American products is just a fancy way to say: "let us push you around."
