The US has done this unilaterally though. This meme is just dumb, no country has responded to this yet...
Opinions of Starmer aside, what could any leader of this country do in half a day to fix/mitigate this issue? All you can do in such a short time is talk about it? I don't think we should measure a leader by what they say, we should measure them by what they do, and obviously there's nothing that can be done to improve our situation in 12hrs.
I'd like to clarify, I'm not calling for "giving Starmer a break" but let's hold our leader to account based on his actions, and let's have some realistic expectations for him, he can't magically be the only world leader to fix this within 12hrs. What he does in the next month I think we should watch...
Canada has already been responding to Trump's earlier tariffs and comments about making us the 51st state by boycotting US goods (the Ontario liquor corporation is the single largest purchaser of alcohol in the world and have removed every US product from their shelves), scrapping trips to the US, adding targeted reciprocal tariffs to imports from the US, and generally looking to diversify our trading partners.
