 You mean the trade deal that Trump negotiated with Canada during his first term?

Trump said,  "The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law.  ItrCOs the best agreement werCOve ever made..."

 I don't think tariffs are the solution.  In the end, all of us (literally) pay the price.

 The money we're spending on all of this could be poured into other things that have tangible impacts. Drug rehabilitation and education to start.

 I was going to suggest we do something to make the USA not look so enticing for people who are miserable living in other countries, but it looks like we're already on that path the last couple months by making the USA a place of government overreach and jack-booted oppression as well.
