The Art of the Trade War
Trade wars are like awkward family feuds, but instead of yelling at Thanksgiving dinner, politicians slap each other with tariffs like they're in a passive-aggressive game of economic dodgeball. One country raises steel tariffs, another retaliates with a cheese embargo, and suddenly world leaders are arguing over dairy like it's a geopolitical episode of MasterChef. Meanwhile, politicians give dramatic speeches about "protecting national interests," which loosely translates to, "We have no idea what we’re doing, but it sounds patriotic." In the end, nobody wins—except maybe smugglers and black market avocado dealers.
Canada Cancels California: Boycott Hits Golden State as Trump's Annexation Threats Spark Travel Backlash

Furious Canadians are boycotting California, potentially costing the state billions in lost tourism revenue, following Trump's threats to annex their nation. The tourism nonprofit 'Visit California' has slashed its spending forecast by $6 billion as international travelers increasingly avoid the US amid growing tensions with Canada. Canadian tourists, who spent $3.7 billion in California last year, are canceling trips and vowing never to visit until Trump is out of office, citing his repeated suggestions that Canada should become the 51st US state.
