Trump says he is deciding today whether to put the tariffs in, and whether they'll include oil.

Obviously they won't include oil - that country has spent trillions of dollars in an attempt to gain access to oil supplies, has cozied up to the worst governments on earth, and has threatened to destroy their protected areas in an attempt to control more oil. When someone is giving it away to them it would be insane to include it on a list of tariffs. I can't help but think that this is their weak part, the fact that they need this resource for their economic heart. They can get by without a lot of what Canada manufactures and exports as there are redundancies, the same can't be said for oil. It has been a symbiotic relationship out of necessity for both parties and that trade deficit that has been touted so much shows how much the United States needs its allies.
