Back when he was signing USMCA he had this to say about it
And today, we're finally ending the NAFTA nightmare and signing into law the brand-new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. (Applause.) Very special. Very, very special.
The USMCA is the largest, fairest, most balanced, and modern trade agreement ever achieved. There's never been anything like it. Other countries are now looking at it, but there can't be a border like that because, believe it or not, that is by far the biggest border anywhere in the world, in terms of economy, in terms of people. There's nothing even close.
This is a colossal victory for our farmers, ranchers, energy workers, factory workers, and American workers in all 50 states and, you could almost say, beyond — because it's all beyond. This is all over the world even though it's at one beautiful border — where, by the way, a very major powerful wall is, right now, being built. (Laughter.) Okay? I don't know if I should say that at this particular reading. I know last night it got a very big hand. (Laughter.) Today, they're a little bit like, "Are we supposed to clap now?" (Laughter.)
USMCA has a much weaker dispute resolution process than NAFTA did (something US producers absolutely loathe, Canadian provinces really love doing stupid shit with trade and they can't hold them accountable under USMCA like they could with NAFTA) where countries exchange & approve each others lists of potential dispute panelists. Even in the event daddy has updated this from Biden's list because the treaty requires all the countries to have agreed to changes its unlikely daddy will be able to front load it with yes men. It also allows Canada to just go around the US to the WTO.
The lumber is itself a great deal of lulz that has been going on for decades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_softwood_lumber_dispute but there are three new opportunities for $DRAMA inflation:
Daddy really doesn't seem to understand how trade works, a tariff on Canadian oil would immediately increase the cost of gas & energy in the US. Just the comment he was thinking about doing it added more than a $1 to oil prices
Daddy is going to have to argue why his own treaty sucks and why its totally Biden's fault his treaty sucks
First challenge to congressional authority. Taxing is an enumerated power of congress and the ability of a president to create tariffs is limited. His pet theory is that the impoundment authority that lets sanctions work allows him to create any tariffs he wants. Congress have to choose between challenging daddy or setting a precedent that future presidents could use however they wanted. Bong's PM called you a mean name? 9001% tariffs on all bong goods.

He's not violating USMCA because he's doing it under the guise that Tacostan and Leafistan are so overflowing with Chinese fentanyl that this is all for national security reasons.
The Mexico yenta is controlled by cartels and blackface is ballsdeep in China. It's over.
This whole thing is probably for regime change purposes because Trudeau was installed by the Democratic party and honestly the US military should start drone striking cartels just for sport.

That's what the dispute panel resolves, there isn't grounds for "daddy doesn't like Canada" being grounds for a tariff so there is going to be a giant slap fight.
He can tariff fentanyl. I suspect the flow is very much in the other direction though.
I'm waiting for the Mexican invasion.
Cartel as terrorist organizations is going to be pretty lulz on its own as they have so many legit businesses that it basically makes trade with Mexico impossible. About 60% of our veg comes from Mexico and nearly all of that has a cartel involved somewhere.

The actions against Colombia with the illegals were pretty telling how it will go down, in addition to the tariffs they will sanction leaf entities.
They'll sanction all the leaf banks like TD which just paid the biggest fine in history for laundering cartel fentanyl money.
It will be over in a couple hours based on the sanctions, not the tariffs.

Mexico was absolutely a funnel for Chinese fentanyl. In the early days the cartels were experimenting with augmenting their low grade heroin with it, which is why we saw accidental deaths. They dialed it in because you need your users to be repeat customers.

Man this is gonna be fun to watch for sure people on our side are ready to push the switch on a bunch of counter measures including cutting off electricity that we supply to the northeastern states via hydro electric in Ontario and QC, raising Alberta oil prices or cutting off all oil exports to the US in general and selling to China instead. Then putting a 25% tarrif on all US goods inbound to Canada.
Canada is the US largest trading partner and has been for a while - I remember trump hating on china and Mexico for undercutting US labour and stealing manufacturing but I don't know what the frick we did. If this does happen it's gonna be a fricking bloodbath.
