That's what I don't get about this trade war. Trump's tariffs hurt the US consumer more than anyone else. Heck, even harley Davidson moved some business out of the country since its steel costs went up. Trudeaut's 'counter-tariffs hurt Canadian consumers more than they do anyone else.
Now imagine if I shot myself in the foot because I was angry at you. You take it as an insult and, not be be beaten, put out a revolver, shout at me how you'll get youre revenge, aim at your foot, and pull the trigger.
Offended by your action, I say 'oh yeah? Watch this!', aim at my other foot, and shoot myself again.
That is the essence of a trade war.
