Honestly, it's simply futile to seek compromises with this tyrannical government. Like all bullies, nothing is enough for them. They will keep on taking from you until you clap back.

I think it's appropriate to note here that during his first term, Trump tore up NAFTA and negotiated his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Now, just a few years later, he's torn that one up too. If I were a country considering negotiating a trade agreement with him, I'd keep in mind that any agreement struck could evaporate on his whim.

The solution is to simply not "negotiate" with terrorists. Just make decisions that financially damage them and their cronies, while forming close relationships with non-terrorist states.

Exactly.

Why waste time and effort trying to come to an agreement with a regime that routinely lies and has a history of breaking agreements they previously made?

Not just effort. Negotiating trade agreements with the states have always involved giving concessions that mean enacting legislation that deliberately hurts Canadian industries and/or consumers in return for low cost access to their markets. If they are going to be unreliable, we should not be hurting ourselves in hopes that they will play by their own rules.
