      1. The sanctions were put in place by the US Congress. And 86/47 can’t override that.
      2. Congress has adjourned until after the election, because they are afraid. So they can’t remove the sanction.
      3. The amount involved would be less than one day’s worth of US consumption.

      Also, US citizens and Canadian citizens are business associates, friends, and often family members. Let’s not ‘carry water’ for wealthy people who would rather we fight each other than unite, eh? Peace ON!

        1. Yes he can if he says he can, he has the majority in congress and the supreme court backs his every move.
        2. Doesn’t matter.
        3. Incidentally also doesn’t matter, Trump only needs the optics for midterm elections
