Americans will lose big time. Everything Trump touches disintegrates he is now doing this to the US economy. He's making Americans poorer all for his own ignorance and cruel bullying.

Canada (and many other countries) spent decades supporting the maintenance of US hegemony. Look what it got us? To a position where we're pretty much greatly dependent on, and at the mercy of the US. We need to invest more in our own country and make our own products. We should also trade with other countries regardless of what the US thinks of those countries. Trump wants Canada to put tariffs on China in the attempt to further impede that country's economic growth so the US will remain the economic hegemony. Never mind that a trade war with China would put Canada in an even worse position. Given the current events, I say we trade with China even more!
Critiques Canadian foreign policy dependence on the US and advocates for alternative trade strategies, with comparative framing of Canada's position relative to US hegemony.
