I was referring to the possibility of Canada making trade deals with China, which is causing Trump to get butthurt and threaten tariffs. Of course not everything we trade with China will be consumer goods, but some parts of a trade deal may include consumer goods, which may overlap with similar goods we buy from the US, which are all made in China anyway. Hence cutting out the middleman. permalink fedilink source parent
