Wow that headline. While it's factually true I guess, it's not at all representative of what's stated in the article. They conveniently leave out that they want a separate deal with Mexico. More decoupling than excluding.

Sure! The US will be free to trade with Canada. There will still be tariffs on softwood lumber, steel, and many other things if Canada wants to sell them in the US.

If only this guy knew what was involved in certifying stuff under the current USMCA agreement. It is not nearly as simple as slapping a ‘Made in Mexico’ label on it. There are a strict set of rules that involve classifying every item in a BOM and having values of them with rules about what goods can shift and what the values thresholds are for each component. It’s part of what I do every day for work. Too much non-US, CA, or MX content that doesn’t tariff shift and you can’t get duty free entry.

Just fascists being fascists
