So, does Trump have any chance of winning his trade war with Canada?
The truth is that it’s hard even to figure out what a Trump win would mean in this context. Would it mean Canada agreeing to become the 51st state? That’s not going to happen Would it mean Canada giving up on French as a co-equal language with English? That also won’t happen.
Or would it mean Canada making enough concessions that Trump could at least claim victory? That’s also tricky, because until Trump went on the attack, Canada wasn’t doing anything wrong. It can’t promise to end unfair policies when there basically never were any such policies.
The bottom line is that Trump is going to lose his trade war with Canada as thoroughly as he has lost his shooting war with Iran. But because he won’t face reality, trade with Canada will probably be disrupted until the narcissistic bully in the White House no longer controls trade policy.
