The Biden Administration wants to hurt Mexico in order to protect American Automotive interests.

The US has done a great job of fucking Canada, now they're turning their attention to fucking Mexico, too.

It's giving Sino-Soviet split.

Not that I doubt it, but what did the US do to Canada?

We've had logging tariffs on them for a bit, especially at the start of the pandemic when lumber prices were insane and getting rid of them would've helped lower prices a bit.

Illegal tariffs. The Canadian lumber industry has taken them to court several times and win the cases. And nothing was changed. The US loves NAFTA when it benefits them. Not so much otherwise.
