Trudeau: How is Canada a national security threat? Trump: Didn't you guys burn down the White House? CNN: Actually, Britain did it. Historians: Actually actually, Canada was still a British colony. Me: How does the War of 1812 justify harming a close ally in 2018?

Best argument for "national security" tariffs against Canada and Mexico is it improves US negotiating position. But that highlights why it's a such bad idea: Potential economic gains minimal, potential geopolitical losses high.

Trade war with Canada and Mexico such short-sighted thinking. US gains much more from close, long-term partnerships with neighbors than bullying them into making a few economic concessions. And that’s if it works! Right now, just losses for all three countries.

North America is deteriorating. Trump’s verbal attacks on Mexico, US withdrawing from TPP, now tariffs. First big post-Trump Mexican election July 1. This’ll get worse before it gets better.
