Chinese Aluminum pries are 1/3 and Steel prices 1/2 of US, and so ironically, one of the few import countries that can compete with inflated protectionist US prices.

Canada has taken an embarrassingly weak response to US attack on it. Still cooperating with US miltary, and yet to cancel F35s and other weapons purchases.

I guess the collective western public timidity can get Trump to TACO with private non movement over time, but more aggressive expansion of international relationships without confronting US evil would be more proactive while still publicly timid. Instead process looks like gaslighting their own people until further subjugation is imposed on them.
