Trump Admin. is warning Canada to not retaliate against U.S. tariffs. What is Canada to do bend over and say, " Sir, may I have some more." Of course Canada will retaliate against unlawful tariffs. The ball is in America's court and if they want the end to escalating costs treat Canada as a friend.
