Ford you just made things worse by showing Trump you will back down and submit to him . . . diplomacy should have come first and if that was not working measured responses.
We will never win a trade war with the US and destroy Canada in the process.
Find new markets, not China which is the worse country to trade with, since they only want one thing, world dominance, and we are just supplying the funds they need to build up their military by trading with them . . . there are plenty of other countries to trade with.
We should be boycotting China! They are not going away, but the Trump administration will be gone in less than 4 years, if he lasts that long!
