40. Unless Trump is using the tariff talk to force concessions and cash.

It has already worked to some extent.

Trudeau came crawling to MAL right after the election.
And it is certain he did not come empty handed. He had something to offer Trump.

US businesses are handing over handfuls of cash to Trump in anticipation of the tariffs
for "exemptions."

Maybe Trump is hoping to see what China coughs up.
China's economy is already in trouble, tariffs would be a big problem.
