He argues the actual economic impact may be less severe than headlines suggest, as the tariffs would affect only a small portion of Canadian exports and major sectors remain exempt. Steinberg advocates for measured responses over retaliation, questions the effectiveness of Canada's alcohol embargoes against U.S. products, and suggests some U.S. complaints merit consideration during ongoing CUSMA negotiations.
