Yes, but will they?
TBH if Canada, Mexico, Colombia, SA, the EU, etc would completely stop all exports & shipments to the US then the mango Mussolini would back down very quickly...

Maybe so, but is there any real-world reason behind these attacks? Generally, we have trade because it benefits both. Why shoot yourself in the foot? To prove the alpha-maleness of the potus?

Trump is a stupid pos, and so are the ignorant people who voted for him!

We will get a foreshadowing when the market opens in two hours.

Yes we can. We are and will continue to do so

The weak point is refinery capacity, us oil production halves or oil prices significantly rise with deep enough sanctions.

Yes, and as said, we all have slower growth and prosperity as a result of Trump starting a pissing contest. When dealing with a predator personality, you have to stand up, or keep pauperizing your own economy and people. Trump declared economic war on countries. It's a hard blow in a long fight.
