Canadian government subsidized Canadian paper manufacturers, giving them an unfair advantage relative to US paper manufacturers.
US imposes a tariff on Canadian paper to level the playing field.
Why is that deplorable?
To really level the playing field the US would need to undo the arms buildup that has been unabated since 1950 and have given the US tremendous advantage in high tech via massive unparalleled tax subsidized R&D, as well as enormous economies of scale in critical export fields such as aerospace that were made possible by colossal tax funded military procurement over 70 years.
Otherwise the US needs to shut up about other people’s subsidies.

Quote:As with Mr. Trump’s other tariffs on steel, aluminum, solar panels and washing machines, the newsprint duties will help some American manufacturers but hurt many other domestic companies.
A study undertaken on behalf of a coalition of printers, publishers and paper suppliers projects that American newsprint prices will increase more than 30 percent in the next one to two years, and that newspapers and printers will face an increased cost of roughly half a billion dollars from the remaining five American mills producing newsprint. The study was filed with the United States International Trade Commission, an independent federal agency that governs trade and could ultimately overturn or change the Commerce Department’s decision in a ruling expected next month.
Trump does not like people to have more to read than he himself is willing or able to read.

It’s not racist to say a smaller percentage of black people can descend to levels of stupid comparable to those of a larger percentage of white morons typified by our friend Omega bitch.
