Trump’s Canada Tariffs Are Backfiring in Red States | The Week

The gist

1. US-Canada auto parts cross the border eight times before assembly, making tariffs hurt the side that started them as much as the target.
2. Canadian consumers are deliberately targeting $25 billion in specific products to damage key states like Michigan and Texas, while US consumers stay largely indifferent.
3. Students who lean on AI as a crutch show a sharp performance collapse when the tool is taken away, a pattern seen across US universities and OECD countries.
4. Galloway says marriages tend to fail through small, gradual acts of disconnection rather than dramatic betrayals, and the same dynamic can sink business partnerships.
