From Global News
OTTAWA – Canada will join Mexico and other European and Asian auto-producing countries this week to plot strategy ahead of the potential imposition of tariffs on vehicles and auto parts exported to the United States.
Japan and the European Union organized the meeting for Tuesday in Geneva, where vice and deputy ministers from Canada, the EU, Japan and South Korea will gather to talk about the punishing levies threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump.

A Canadian government official told The Canadian Press on Sunday that deputy international trade minister Timothy Sargent would attend the meeting on Canada’s behalf.
Trump has threatened to impose tariffs under Section 232 of the decades-old U.S. Trade Expansion Act. The legislation allows the president, under certain circumstances, to impose duties recommended by his commerce secretary under the notion that the goods being imported are a threat to national security.
COMMENT:-
That headline should actually be "Canada to join Mexico, EU and other countries to plot against the United States of America" - shouldn't it?
Isn't plotting against the US a crime?
Why doesn't Mr. Trump put all of those countries in jail (or, at least liberate them)?
Doesn't WTO stand for "World Terrorist Organization"?
Isn't the US at war with terrorism?
