Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared an end to Canada-U.S. relations centered on economic integration and security cooperation after Trump imposed permanent 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts.
Carney vowed to reduce Canada’s reliance on the U.S. and develop alternative trade partnerships.
He condemned the tariffs as a “very direct attack” and pledged to defend Canadian workers and industries.
Trump admitted to using tariffs to pressure Canada, leading to fears of economic fallout for northern U.S. states and immediate stock market impacts on automakers.
My guess: First corporate war and the formation of NUSA that maintains a little bit of control over some parts of the country. The rest will be effectively owned and controlled by various corporations that act more like kingdoms.
The US balkanization is long overdue
