The man (I hope) mixes this initial flattery (soften the man-baby up) with hard-nosed negotiation reality--the tariffs are a bad idea and will hurt everyone including the United States. Carney has already stated his 'red line' innumerable times.

Will Trump take the cue?

Probably not because Agent Orange loathes the idea of backing off. I'm counting on Carney to finesse the situation as best he can. But the bottom line?

You strike Canada, Canada strikes back.

Then we all lose.
