      I am tired of people who have NO idea about the details of trade, tariffs, economy etc opining and then expect others to teach them.
      The deficit of trade between The USA and Canada is because of energy (mainly Crude heavy oil, natural gas, and coal), if you exclude that (-41 bn USD), there is actually a surplus of trade for the USA (+63 bn USD).
      The reason the USA relies on Canadian Heavy Crude oil is that their oil refineries are manufactured and equipped to refine Heavy oil. The oil found in the USA is light and those refineries cannot handle it, e.g. light Shale oil in Dakotas.
      So, the USA exports its light oil and imports crude heavy oil. In fact, The USA is not only a petroleum/energy independent but it is a net petroleum exporter.
      Why don't the oil producers convert their refineries to be able to handle light oil because:
      1) It's very expensive
      2) It would take a long time
      3) The US industry makes comparatively more money importing comparatively cheap oil (heavy oil sells for less) than selling their expensive light oil overseas.
      So, if Trump had any real intellect, knowledge, and cared to be informed, he would realize that in totality the USA wins.
      Now, if the USA decides they don't want to buy Canadian crude oil, they will have to buy it from two other sources; Venezuela or Russia.
      Come to think of it, maybe Russia is Trump's choice.
      Now, who would like to buy more Canadian crude heavy oil? China!

      "Set up factories in the USA, give jobs to Americans"
      If that was viable and profitable it would already be happening.
      If I can get something done cheaper overseas and instead employ those resources doing something more profitable, what you suggest would be counter productive.
      Surely, that's what unfettered capitalism is all about.
