And this point I’m inclined to think that the regime makes ridiculous comments just to check what will stick. Not interested in dropping all tariffs on us? Fine. Business would suck but we’ll survive. Threaten to trash CUSMA? Yeah good luck buying potash from Belarus-Russia. We’ll see how that’ll go when food prices spike or shipments get delayed!
Personally I think Bessent is a moron! So are Nutlick and Navarro.
