>Doesn’t this action from Canada explain Trump rhetoric though?
Trump already tariffed cars and car parts from Canada under the guise of national security, in complete and utter defiance of USMCA (you know, the best trade agreement ever as described by the guy who signed it: Donald Trump). Canada should return the favour. Canada had tried to play nice with the "American" automakers, but if they screw Canada to pander to the rapist, they lose that benefit.
