> a policy targetting China has collateral damage.

It is still a policy from someone threatening economic annexation of Canada. He's dropped the rhetoric, but I doubt he's given up on the concept. "Targeting China" is a very kind, possibly even forgetful, way of phrasing it.

Believe it or not, not everything is about Canada.

Trump hates China. His boss told him to.

		Not everything is about Canada, no. Mexico has also been disproportionately impacted by these protectionist policies. And that’s just the immediate neighbours with which the US has pursued trade agreements for decades.
