Tarrifs really are designed to work on incoming products that are cheaper then locally produced products because of things like labor costs or unequal trade practices or labor practices.



I mean primarily the area that Americans should be using it against Canadians is with food that Canadian's protect with supply chain management or things that Canada subsidized like Softwood lumber.



The problem with this trump plan or blanket tariffs, is there are products that are not produced in the US, that American's need to buy. If Trump had been smart, and he's not the initial rounds of Tarrifs would have been selective and he could have stuck to his argument of unfair trade practices and the side benefit of pressure Canada on the border.



But, I think we know that the real goal is pretty simple. Trump wants to crack out economy, he wants to make investment in Canada a bad proposition, so all of those manufacturing jobs in Ontario and the East come to Michigan. And all of these companies in Canada move their offices to the States, its non velvet glove economic assassination, and that's why I say its going to last 6 to 8 months until Trump eases up on it.
