US/Canada Trade War ?

Headline from the BBC:

Quote:

Has the US started a lumber trade war with Canada?

Bettridge's law of headlines would say that the correct response is "No"

Is this a case of having failed to strongarm China, North Korea or even the House, Trump is turning his attention to his polite northern neighbour ?

Quote:

US President Donald Trump has been sending Canada mixed messages on trade, initially offering assurances that Nafta will only need "tweaks" but recently singling out Canada's softwood lumber and dairy industries for criticism.

In truth it looks like the latest in a long line of NAFTA related minor squabbles but I'm sure Trump will portray it as him starting to fix the "terrible deals" the US has...:rolleyes:
