When Trump first announced his intention to impose tariffs on both Mexico and Canada, his "justifications" were these countries were allowing a flood of immoral and illegal immigrants into the U.S. and of Fentanyl.

Now his reason for Canadian tariffs is pecuniary, a punishment for not acquiescing to allow a non-military take-over of its sovereignty.

Very Cosa Nostra.
