I've never heard of the "Rough Wooing", though I admit my Scottish history is fairly spotty.
I also have no additional sympathy for people managing logistics -- reacting to stuff like this is literally the job, and happens all of the time. Storms, diplomatic tiffs, and accidents are happening constantly so this just another variant of normal.
On the other hand, I've read about restaurants who have spent the last month researching price changes and new recipes to save money, paid to print new menus, only to have Trump cancel tariffs at the last minute... maybe? Restaurants will be raising prices on imported foods anyway, because they've already had costs related to the tariffs, which may still go into effect. And that price increase is inflation. Companies that sell goods don't know what things will cost, they don't know which direction to expand, so they are hiring less and less, which means unemployment. All from something that didn't happen yet.
Also Trump is considering 250% tariffs on Canadian dairy.
