Trade wars are bad and only produce losers. That said Mexico and Canada together make up about 11.8% of the North American economy so they are a hell of a lot more dependent on the US than visa versa. Trump remains a ******** but the one silver lining that might come out this (which would depend on Trump being competent which he is not) is that eventually we might end up with a more comprehensive free trade agreement where carve outs from the early 1990's (things like dairy or softwood lumber or truck transport or even media holding rules outlawing foreigners) end up getting eliminated.
Now, a competent man, which excludes Trump, would have done this one at a time starting with China as it is the worst offender because taking on everyone all at once is just stupid.
