with Trump's economic vision and that he's trying to right-size certain US industries, like the US steel industry, which the industry itself is celebrating the tariffs, if not domestic manufacturers. I don't think it's a negotiating tactic. I think it's economic policy. And so it doesn't seem to me that those would be as likely peeled back.

It certainly doesn't seem like it. And I know it's partly Trump being Trump, but I also think the continued talk, and I think he reiterated it just within recent days, of wanting to make Canada the 51st state is Obviously, that's a much more complicated process, but I think it does sort of speak to almost a bit of dismissiveness Trump has towards Canada as an ally.

I think he sees their resources and their minerals as something that the U.S. has direct interest in. And this is one small example of a bigger worldview in which I think Trump is much more antagonistic and dismissive of traditional U.S. allies, especially when it comes to economic terms. Like he just wants... He wants a better deal, even from longtime U.S. allies.

And I think you're going to see this intensified because the White House is already indicating that they're looking to the European Union for more tariffs. And I think they're similarly saying, like, wait, well, why us? And it is a profoundly different economic viewpoint coming from the Republican Party. And Trump is ready to go. All right.

Yeah, I mean, they absolutely are. And again, I think that this is where I say you have to look at tariffs as a multi-pronged tool for Donald Trump. I think that they will likely come back if immigration outcomes are not achieved. On the immigration front, I think that that is a direct response to the election.

And Republicans on Capitol Hill see this as sort of their number one legislative priority. They're trying to put together a budget resolution this week that will allow them to spend much more money to send to the U.S. border. And I think that this is going to be a repeat throughout this administration. And again, separately on the economic front, I think he sees it as a tool there.
