Trump's Aggressive Trade Strategy

Trump's potential approach to trade during his current presidency is rooted in a belief that he needs to be aggressive with countries experiencing economic struggles, such as Canada. This aggression is anticipated to manifest in the form of tariffs, particularly given past experiences where smaller tariffs did not have a significant economic impact. The hosts discuss how Trump's strategy may involve an incremental approach to tariff imposition, starting with lower rates and gradually increasing them, aiming to extract concessions from trade partners without causing major economic shocks. Speculation suggests that such a strategy could benefit the US economy while complicating the challenges faced by countries like Canada.
