Victor Davis Hanson: I think Donald Trump has got, as I said earlier, an anaconda Civil War strategy of the North.

President Trump just imposed additional 50 percent tariffs on roughly $20 billion of Canadian goods—wine, dairy, hockey sticks, cement, clothing, furniture, and more. The duties took effect after talks collapsed. Canada is promising dollar-for-dollar retaliation starting in early September. The predictable chorus is screaming about trade wars and alliances.
