Why This Matters
💰 Economic Retaliation: Canada threatens reprisals against U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs, which could increase prices for your home construction and car purchases
Trade wars create retaliatory cycles that raise costs for consumer goods while damaging economic relationships.
🕵️ Allied Intelligence Sharing: Diplomatic ruptures with G7 partners reduce intelligence cooperation, potentially leaving America more vulnerable to terrorist attacks
International security depends on information sharing that requires trust and cooperation among democratic allies.
📈 Trade War Escalation: Trump's tariffs on all G7 members invite retaliation that could cost your job if you work in export industries
Economic conflicts destroy employment while damaging industries that depend on international trade and cooperation.
🗳️ Democratic Isolation: America's withdrawal from democratic alliances leaves authoritarian regimes like Russia and China with greater global influence over economic rules
International leadership requires alliance cooperation while isolationist policies surrender influence to authoritarian competitors.
🛡️ Military Burden: Weakened alliances mean higher U.S. defense spending as allies become less willing to share security costs, increasing your tax burden
Alliance cooperation reduces defense costs while military isolation forces taxpayers to shoulder higher national security expenses.
