Double down on investment of high tariff countries

Trump exposed a weakness. It is never to occur again. The NATO alliance needs to be made stronger, not destroyed.

Countries being targeted by Trump for high tariffs should receive greater investment to build autonomy from relying on the USA economy. Canada and the European Union have populations capable of vibrant, domestic economies. Help them build autonomous economies and there will be profit. 

Trump touts America First while institutionalizing hubris and hate. That is not a basis for a good economy or a successful society.

There can be the exact same movement throughout the Free World saying Canada First, European Union First, etc. New investment success lies within the success of democracy, not the end of it. 

Canadians are staying home. There was a 20 percent drop in Canadian tourism in February. Twenty percent of Canadians did not cross into a once trusted neighbor. The USA is not only becoming a concern to Canadians, it is down right scary.

Mourning the loss of USA consumers in a profit structure isn’t a concern. An increasing number of Americans will be emigrating. These folks are consumers, too.
