Scott Bessent Tightens the Screws on Iran While Canada Goes Rogue
It is officially 'let's make everything expensive' season, and nobody is holding back.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (male) is coming out with a fresh batch of economic pressure for Iran. Apparently, the existing sanctions weren't quite doing the trick, so it is time to turn the dial up a bit higher.
Meanwhile, our neighbors to the north have decided they've had enough. Canada just announced they are hitting the United States with retaliatory tariffs. It’s a bizarre trade-war-meets-geopolitics sandwich. We are out here trying to squeeze a regional power while our best trading partner is actively firing back at our wallet.
Nothing says international stability like fighting on two completely different fronts at once.
