Navarro also repeated his tariff lies about Canada. FYI tariffs on dairy only apply when quotas are exceeded, and that's NEVER HAPPENED. Auto tariffs on non-CUSMA-compliant vehicles were enacted after Trump's 2025 tariffs. And Provinces pulled U.S. booze
due to Trump's tariffs, insults & threats.

Ari Melber reduces Peter Navarro to stammering as he presses him on how un-American and authoritarian his view is that the government should dictate who hosts on Fox and what they say

Canada has far less exposure than the unwashed US administration believes.
Canada’s exposure to a termination of CUSMA is estimated by the Bank of Canada as a reduced growth of 2.4% by 2030. A non-trivial sum but hardly an amount that would cause Canadians to wish to become a vassal of USA.

Except the latest round of negotiations included non-tariff demands (from the US) which would, indeed, make Canada a vassal state. It's bad enough they are violated the USMCA / CUSMA which tRump negotiated (& bragged about) in his 1st term ... but the other demands are way off side

Canada is a G7 nation, a Commonwealth country, a founding member of NATO (40+ operations) and the UN (50+ peacekeeping missions), and had 51 non-US trade deals in place before President Trump broke CUSMA. We share a 9000km border, but it's a big, world.

I think that’s premature. We still don’t know what the U.S. actually proposed. CUSMA already has special rules for trade deals with non-market economies like China. If this was about tightening those safeguards, I might support it. Without the text, I can’t say walking away was clearly right.

In addition, Canada should impose tariffs - 15,25, 50%? - on all non-CUSMA compliant products or services until the U.S. strengthens its border controls to prevent illicit drugs and illegal firearms entering Canada.

Conservatives are squawking away. The CUSMA provision is limited to non-market economies - i.e. economies that dont have a free market - like china, north korea, russia. And The term the US tried to include included all countries including market economies - europe, uk, australia, etc.... EVERYONE.

Highlighting some grievances the US published in March/26 re trade with Canada (other countries as well). “Barriers” the US wanted curtailed or eliminated
It’s extremely revealing. So much of what is under the umbrella of 🇨🇦’s sovereignty, is seen as “unfair”. #TradeWar #CUSMA #cdnpoli #Never51

Just for some info...There is a clause in CUSMA that allows the US to veto any trade agreement with non-partnered nations ( like China and many others). Once CUSMA is gone we will truely be free of the american gangsters.

No one wins a trade war. But withdrawing from Washington, responding in kind but without escalation, and pursuing non-US trade opportunities is the best path. It isn't ideal --that would be honouring fully the CUSMA deal already in place negotiated by Trump himself-- but it will have to do.

So we're back to waiting until the US trade court decides whether the second round of 47's tariffs are legal (probably not, especially since he's ignoring CUSMA rules in a bid to recover the tariff money he had to give back). Meanwhile we retaliate as we did last time and pump non-US trade bigly! 💪
