That's only because they're not buying enough from you....have you considered offering them guns, drugs, and financial services?

And countries would be much more willing to deal with Canada on negotiating new deals than they ever would with dorito.
The entire world thinks him and his stooges are bell ends.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
That, and Trump has proven that he can't be trusted to honor any agreement he signs. So his word and his signature (and, by extension, America's reputation) is worthless.

China will leverage this to the hilt. They will make some sweet deals by offering to be a stable/reliable partner. Trump may be ridiculous, but it is clueless and credulous (or just flat out mendacious) voters who put a known criminal, sociopathic rapist on the WH.

So the WSJ keeps hammering Donald. This time it’s an op-ed piece
>>Why do American producers tap supplies from our neighbors? Mr. Trump doesn’t say. But he’s against economic freedom he says, because, well, it isn’t good for you.
Selling this pap isn’t so easy. What does sell is blaming the U.S. appetite for narcotics on the neighbors. So Mr. Trump has moved the goal posts, making the tariff hike mostly about the failure of Mexico and Canada to stop fentanyl at U.S. borders. This puts the president, again, at the back of the Econ 101 class.
Fentanyl doesn’t jump into people’s mouths and noses. While most of its tragic victims haven’t wanted to ingest it—they have largely been consumers of illegal cocaine and counterfeit opioids—very small amounts of the synthetic narcotic can kill. It’s almost impossible to detect shipments, including when they arrive in Seattle from San Antonio as well as from abroad. The only way to reduce deaths is to reduce American drug use. That’s something Mexico and Canada would welcome, since criminals do so much damage in their countries as they work to serve their wealthier American customers.
