Are the U.S. and Canada spiraling toward a full-blown trade war?

Bad news! Whatever happened to the North American free trade zone (aka NAFTA) since 1994? Apparently, since then Canada has violated free trade principles in many ways by keeping certain US products banned or heavily regulated and so on.

Are we having here two old men in a contest of wills?

"After weeks of marathon talks between U.S. and Canadian trade officials, an agreement was almost in sight. Then, late on Friday, the talks collapsed at the 11th hour. Tariffs of 50% on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods went into effect, and Ottawa said it will respond with dollar-for-dollar levies on Sept. 8."

U.S. won’t renew USMCA, will review trade pact with Canada and Mexico

I hope, President Trump does not mess up the great idea of and prosperity that comes with a North American Free Trade Zone!

"Key Points

• The Trump administration has decided not to renew its trilateral trade pact with Canada and Mexico known as USMCA.

• President Donald Trump once lauded the USMCA deal, which he signed during his first term in office, but has soured on it since.

Trump vows to implement new, hefty tariffs on Canada and Mexico on first day in office. Really!

Very concerning!

An attempt to blow up the otherwise successful and beneficial North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA, signed in 1992) is like to play with fire.

If it is indeed true that Canada and Mexico have done too little and were very lax to prevent or interdict illegal drug trafficking into the US, then perhaps serious negotiations first and then threats if unsuccessful.

What if Canada and/or Mexico retaliate? What if a vicious cycle of measures and countermeasures ensues? Trade wars were common in the past and they were destructive and everyone loses.

"... Trump said Mexico and Canada will each face a 25% tariff. The tariff on China will be [additional] 10% [on top of 60%]. ..."
