A Canadian Trade War Would Target Red States

New York Times: “Canadian officials are preparing a three-stage plan of retaliatory tariffs and other trade restrictions against the United States … Initial tariffs would mostly affect consumer goods worth 37 billion Canadian dollars ($25.6 billion)…”

“Canadian officials said their choice of goods was meant to be precisely targeted and aimed at political impact. They specifically want to focus on goods made in Republican or swing states, where the pain of tariffs, like pressure on jobs and the bottom lines of local businesses, would affect Trump allies.”
