Yup. We also need to see if we're excluded from the tariff as it's not clear yet. Rumors are Trump's cabinet have advised him either not to impose tariffs or to exclude their closer trade partners but from what we've heard
so far that advise hasn't been taken.
If we are included though I would say it's a warning of how difficult it's actually going to be to strike up a
fair trade deal with a protectionist US government.
