Canada's new tariffs took effect today.⁣
⁣
Everyone wants to know if this is bad news.⁣
⁣
Short run: barely. Long run: worse than almost anyone is saying.⁣

A Deal With the United States Used to Be a Deal

The tariffs Ottawa and Washington traded today are small change. What we're actually spending is Canada's belief that we're a country worth building a factory next to.

As the trade war with Canada and the actual war with Iran heat up, a reminder that the administration has no strategy in either conflict beyond “we’re bigger,” which is… how to put this… not great. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

The Trump Administration Strategy Fail

They have no idea what they are doing in Iran or Canada.

A crucial fact about the Russian-Ukraine, US-Iran and US-Canada wars. They are all optional for the aggressor, existential for the defence. No one in US realises this - still think Canada is bargaining over trrade.

Huge pleasure to chat with @emilyzfeng.bsky.social about why China continues to be the big winner in Trump's escalatory trade war with Canada.

Economy remains top of mind for many Americans as trade war with Canada escalates

President Trump's trade war with Canada comes as Americans keep the economy top of mind heading into the midterm elections.

I had a nice chat with Michael Rinker of WAVY 10 this morning. All about the ongoing and nonsensical "trade" dispute with Canada. This isn't about trade. It's our president trying to throw his bulk around to create an image of strength while diminishing our true power.

A brief post on Trump's harmful and illegal expansion of Section 338 tariffs on Canada, including banning some imports entirely. I build on helpful summary by Georgetown Prof. @petereharrell.bsky.social: reason.com/volokh/2026/...

Trump Expands Illegal Section 338 Tariffs Against Canadian Imports - and Bans Some Entirely

The move further escalates this harmful and illegal trade war with a vital ally.
