Hard to quantify the difference in how far apart the two sides are. But Trudeau definitely made it sound like Pence scuttled a deal that was all-but-complete in that phone call. White House officials say no way, there were still major hurdles to overcome.— Paul McLeod (@pdmcleod) May 31, 2018

About the tariffs, I’ve read countless news reports across the USA and Europe about it. All saying in one way or another it’s stupid, counter productive, throw back to Smoot-Halley. I’ve not seen any discourse on the Merits of Trumps actions. What has all the many months of negotiations between the US and it’s trading partners been about? Where’s the beef? Since name calling is so coordinated among news outlets I have to assume there is some merit to Trumps actions.
