Also if they can mostly or completely replace trade with the US, which is far easier when the US is fucking over nearly every trade partner, then they are completely unaffected by US tariffs. So how is this even a threat? “If you don’t buy my whiskey, I will charge Americans triple for your maple syrup!” Cool, I’m definitely not going to buy your whiskey now, and I’m going to sell my syrup to someone who also stopped buying syrup from you while I buy their whiskey. You can sit over there and just pretend like your tariffs are a threat and buy your own whiskey and make your own syrup. IFGAF.
