Trump got nothing in return for lifting Tariffs with Canada. You're, as usual, going only by what your mentally challenged President tells you. You're talking out of your ass, AGAIN.
Tariffs have only resulted in Trump having to bailout the farmers, to a tune of $28 billion or so. China never paid a cent of that.
Tariffs pass on the increased costs to the poor and middle class. It's essentially a tax on those who aren't rich.

A Gallup report published on Wednesday found that 80% of respondents – 88% of Republicans and 73% of Democrats – view the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement favorably.
