Hassett: There have been some positive conversations on tariffs

• Canada appears to have misunderstood the language in Trump’s executive order
• We have noticed that Mexico is ‘serious’ about Trump’s executive order
• This order is about drugs, not trade

Hassett continues to refer to the text of the executive order and drugs rather than trade.

I take that as some kind of opening to end the dispute but specifically targeting Canada for drugs and praising Mexico is rich. Canada and Mexico are slated to talk with Trump today.
