Deep dives

Misunderstanding Trade Subsidies

There is a common misconception that America's trade deficit with Canada constitutes a subsidy. However, the actual deficit was approximately $45 billion in goods and services, far less than the claimed $200 billion. This misunderstanding stems from a broader lack of clarity regarding trade dynamics, particularly in an administration filled with wealthy businessmen who should understand the implications of trade deficits. Instead of viewing imports negatively, it is essential to recognize that they are often based on consumer choice and capitalistic principles.
