Trump’s Canada Trade War Has a Massive Problem

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, we break down the growing trade fight between the United States and Canada and why the balance of leverage may not be as simple as it looks. With Canada sending a large share of its exports to the U.S., the Trump administration may see tariffs as a powerful bargaining tool. But Canada has leverage of its own, especially when it comes to energy.We look at what could happen if Canada limits oil and energy exports to the United States, how that could affect American gas prices, and why the timing matters with other pressures already affecting global energy markets. The conversation ultimately comes down to which side can handle the economic pain longer—and whether escalating the trade fight creates more problems than it solves.Tune in as we unpack the economic pressure on both sides, Canada's energy advantage, and the bigger question of who really holds the leverage in a U.S.–Canada trade war.
