    Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China.

    What? No.

    Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

            Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…
