I doubt Trump intends to keep the tariffs up for long (at least not with Canada, and probably not MX).

Again, I'm certainly not an economist, but you don't have to be to understand how Trump thinks. Some people show you the stick and show you the carrot and let you decide which one you want. Trump's style has always been to bludgeon you with the stick first, then offer you half a carrot. Sure, you'd rather have the whole carrot, but you'll take half if it means he stops hitting you with the stick.

My guess is he quickly renegotiates some stuff with Canada and MX, ends the tariffs, claims a victory, and moves on to something else.

But Trump already negotiated "the best deal in the history of the world" with USMCA...

Harming the two best trade partners any nation in the world has is not going to go over well. We benefit in no way from either of their economies "teetering." This is zero-sum thinking on a vastly positive sum continent. I would much rather he was fucking with China or Europe and not our extremely beneficial neighbors.

If it’s such a vastly positive sum continent why don’t they just secure their borders like trump asked then it can be business as usual? Seems economically easier? Weird.
