This is a genuine question for someone who knows more about economics than I do: I accept that Trump's tariffs are going to hurt Americans. Won't Canadian tariffs hurt Canadians, on top of being hurt by American tariffs? What's the logic (other than protecting Canadian business interests)?

Trump threatening Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs but being intentionally muddy about when

if trump's tariffs are going to be so bad for americans why is canada's response "we'll put tariffs on them!"? isn't that just an admission that our government is willing to let people suffer for the sake of free trade? asking for a friend

it's so clear that the tariffs are just a bullying tactic and that the trump team knows how devastating they would be in the face of a rising alternative economy (BRICS) so maybe we can actually focus on other things instead of dedicating an absentee government's time to them
