Meinung: Trumps Handelsziele werden klarer. Abrieb für Impact, Kanada

> The goal is not reciprocity. Or as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt taunted after Ottawa dropped the digital services tax: “Prime Minister Carney and Canada caved.” No diplomatic language, no gesture of partnership, no win-win. To Make America Great Again, everyone else has to eat it. Eat it, sucker.

That has been the consistent message from Trump. _He must win_, those that support him can feed from his winnings as a pilot fish serves a shark; and he doesn’t accept anything short of humiliation and supplication from his opponent.

> Finally, nothing is written in stone in Trump World. There are no binding accords, negotiated over years by experts, spelling out legal obligations in minute detail. 

Except his insistence upon his own victory and self aggrandizement. 

As an investor I began divesting American stocks before he took office. Canada ought to be treating this as a national emergency, requiring national mobilization, to reorient our economy away from the USA.

Or we will lose. We will lose badly and painfully. Because Trump won’t accept anything less, Vietnam and Britain are evidence as much, and he’s willing to crush Americans in order to exert the power necessary to hurt us.
