Canada already in talks to avoid Trump tariffs (www.cbc.ca)

Canada has already begun talks with members of Donald Trump's circle about avoiding new trade tariffs if he's elected U.S. president this fall.

If it happens, the Canadians have warned of retaliation.

The public line from Canada for months has been that Trump's proposed 10 per cent tariff should not apply on this continent because of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade deal.

But CBC News has learned that a deeper conversation is already underway: Trump's allies aren't promising any relief, and the sides are discussing what a negotiation might look like to maintain tariff-free trade.

The bottom line: within months, Canada could find itself in trade negotiations again with Trump if he wins this election.

I never mentioned America. I said we're making inroads with trading with other nations.

You posted an article about America and the potential for Trumps Presidency to hurt us in trade. You then had the audacity to claim that we are "slowly making inroads with other nations". Now here you are being all like "i NeVr mntion 'mEriCa".

It is 2024, or 21 years after you claim we "started making inroads", and you have no point to make about any of it.

Maybe try to stay on topic and speak to my points instead of pretending like you didn't literally bring up America by posting an article about America.
