      They really should drag this process out as long as possible because Trump is bound to become a Lame Duck soon and will have less power to twist things up.
      It will certainly be a tough set of negotiations this time, they’ve got a list of pointless grievances that they intend to work out through trade based ‚punishments.‘ <that Bessent is some kind of economic buffoon>
      Our best ploy would be to run them around in circles, for as long as we can get them to chase us.

      Every week past July 1 is a week closer to the U.S. midterms where Trump (obsessed with the price of the Dow Jones above all else) will not want the bad headlines and market downturn which carrying out his threats of unilateral withdrawal from CUSMA would bring. And where vulnerable republican representatives in states hurt by the trade war will be all the more mindful of not seeing the President’s bluster deliver a gift to their opponents.

      Far from the talking points of those who would prefer Canada to surrenders its negotiating positions and beg for scraps, we have many advantages here despite the relative size difference. Time is on our side, delays are much better for us than a bad deal. And as difficult as it is, Canadians are more willing to bear economic pain as a result of American economic aggression, than Americans are to bear it as a result of their leaders self-induced blunders.

      There’s honestly very few reasons not to drag this out as long as possible etc. If Trump actually comes to the table with a decent deal to continue NAFTA/CUSMA to save face now that his tariffs have been challenged by both the judiciary and legislature, then it might be worthwhile , but at the same time if Trump’s position stays unchanged, or he continues to be difficult to negotiate with we still have over a decade until CUSMA expires and the next administration will almost certainly be more amicable and have a vested interested in preserving it. (alongside U.S voters and businesses who also highly favor keeping it etc.)

      It’s very unlikely that the U.S government’s opposition to open trade between both countries somehow outlasts Trump. Even the Republicans in legislature that regularly bows to Trumps whims have espoused strong support for the continuation of CUSMA or a NAFTA like agreement in some form or another.
