Tariffs, Alliances, and Authoritarianism
This chapter analyzes the political dynamics of U.S.-Canada trade relations, particularly focusing on the use of tariffs as a tool for economic coercion. It discusses the implications of these tactics on international alliances, the undermining of democratic values, and the potential benefits for authoritarian regimes like Russia. The conversation raises concerns about the motivations behind these actions and their impact on established global norms in a post-World War II context.
