Canada's Tariffs -- The North Dakota Angle -- August 26, 2026

I said the other day, the Trump tariffs on Canada had Doug Burgum's fingerprints all over them.

Today -- an interesting analysis from CBS -- see the link.

Canada is the top customer for exports from 27 U.S. states, Canadian government data shows. While North Dakota is the state most reliant on trade with Canada, excluding fuel products, a large share of its exports consists of soybeans, wheat and other agricultural products, which are exempt from Canada's new tariffs
Michigan, Indiana and other states with large manufacturing sectors that ship goods to Canada are likely to feel a bigger impact than agricultural states like North Dakota because the new tariffs will apply to U.S.-made appliances, steel, aluminum and tools, experts said.

Fascinating article: Canada more interested in Trump's political future (none) vs the future of Canadian citizens. Okay. 

After his current term, Trump's political future is ..... going, going, gone. Perhaps Prime Minister Carney didn't get the memo.
