Two of the world's most economically intertwined neighbors now face each other across a widening tariff divide, as the collapse of trade negotiations last Friday gave way to a 50 percent American levy on Canadian goods and a swift Canadian countermeasure. What had long been a model of cross-border integration — supply chains, shared industries, decades of mutual dependence — is now subject to the blunt logic of retaliation. The dispute raises an older question that trade wars always surface: whether economic pressure is a path to agreement, or merely a deeper entrenchment of positions.
