President Donald Trump says he will double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada, escalating a trade war with the United States’ northern neighbor and standing unmoved by recent stock market turmoil and rising recession risks.
A normal leader would announce this in advance, start very small and increase this over a long time in a fixed pattern so everybody has time to adjust and build where needed.
Trump goes from zero to madness in days.
