President-elect Donald Trump's plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports in his first day in office does not exempt crude oil from the trade penalties, two sources familiar with the plan told Reuters on Tuesday. (Reporting By Jarrett Renshaw; Editing by Chris Reese)
While I am kind of looking forward to the 💩show in Alberta over this, I just read that the USMCA forbids tarrifs on member countries. So, thanks to Drumpf, he legally cannot impose tarrifs on Canada or Mexico.

The guy has 34 felony counts on him, as is. What’s one more legal violation, at this point?
But can he illegally impose them?
Maybe. Will he actually do anything he’s talked about? Unlikely.
