Burgerland starts buying steel from their neighbours in that case tho.

Last time Trump got elected he put a bunch of tariffs on those too and put every construction job in the country back 6 months.

Also if they do that China still profits and Canada and Mexico get free money and America pays more for raw materials.

Burgerland will at least be paying a middleman premium in this scenario, though, and it would likely further incentivize industries moving to Mexico. Not that it’d be so simple to just hike the prices for the Yanks (as much as it’s deserved) but if things were to move in that direction, all the better. Whatever further erodes the empire is fine by me.
