US maximalism vs Japan suggests that other trade deals are not anywhere close either. US is also threatening allies on datacenter/AI access, that civility towards China would fix.

Canada is the most braindead auto fight. US has a (small) trade surplus with Canada, and making US cars more expensive with metal tariffs and supply chain turmoil, is not going to make Canadians buy US cars even if they didn't feel attacked.
