From the Wall Street Journal editorial board:
“The trouble with trade wars is that once they begin they can quickly escalate and get out of control. All the more so when politicians are nearing an election campaign, as Canada now is. Or when Mr. Trump behaves as if his manhood is implicated because a foreign nation won’t take his nasty border taxes lying down.”
“We said from the beginning that this North American trade war is the dumbest in history, and we were being kind.”
