To The Moon

U.S. tariffs on Mexico and Canada are likely to be short-lived for several reasons. The economies of all three countries are deeply interconnected, particularly in industries like automotive and manufacturing. Prolonged tariffs could disrupt supply chains and drive up costs for businesses and consumers in the U.S. Meanwhile, Canada and Mexico, which are highly dependent on the U.S. market, would struggle to find an alternative market of similar scale to offset the impact.

The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was established to facilitate free trade, making tariffs contrary to its principles. This could lead to legal challenges and diplomatic pressure for their removal. Furthermore, many U.S. companies that rely on imports from Mexico and Canada would likely lobby against prolonged tariffs, urging policymakers to seek alternative solutions.

Mexico and Canada might also retaliate with their own tariffs, harming American exporters and adding to the urgency of resolving trade tensions. Financial markets tend to react negatively to trade wars, as they create uncertainty and instability. A market downturn caused by tariffs could push policymakers to reconsider their approach.

Ultimately, tariffs have historically been used as a negotiation tactic rather than a long-term strategy. If implemented, they may serve as leverage in trade discussions rather than remain in effect permanently.
