2. This was more chest puffery on Trump's part. His 35% on Canada was for goods not under the current USMCA

which accounts for only about 6% of goods crossing the border and I will suggest that many of those will have already found new trading partners. I don't know much about the trade with Europe but I do know they are ready to put the US in the back mirror.

I don't know how things will turn out with Canada but if we can get the main trades such as auto, steel and aluminium at a low or zero tariff and offset with energy and possibly some minerals then we will be ok. We have already found many new trading partners for other goods, including food.
