Fucking idiot throws out pronouncements to appeal to his ignorant base of mouth-breathing troglodytes, and then has to back down. The federal government is welcoming the U.S. decision to drop tariffs on Canadian aluminum imports — but warns it's prepared to impose retaliatory measures if necessary. Responding to the announcement by the U.S. Trade Representative's office that the 10 per cent levy on Canadian aluminum products would be repealed, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the move signals that common sense has prevailed. "The last thing that Canadians and Americans need now in the middle of this pandemic is a trade war," she told a news conference in Ottawa today. Freeland said Canada is suspending retaliatory action — for now. "Should tariffs be reimposed, Canada will retaliate with perfectly reciprocal dollar-for-dollar tariffs," she said. www.cbc.ca/news/politics/aluminum-tariffs-trade-trump-trudeau-1.5724391 |

I wouldn't either, I know what I would like to do, but have to think it only.
