Ally abuse, is when an International Trading Partner continuously threaten, implement and/or intentionally prevaricates on implementing tariffs on a trading partner ally. The abuse is seen when the abuser can give no logical reason for the implementation of punitive measures against an ally where trading, and agreements to trade are in contractual agreement. This 'ally abuse' is perfectly illustrated by the random actions against allies of the United States of America - by the United States of America. Both punitive tariffs outside a formal agreement, and, the 'on again, off again' nature of threats to implement said trading tariffs constitute Ally abuse. In the above example, in 2025, Donald Trump engaged in "Ally abuse" against its formal trading partners, Mexico and Canada.
The United States of America has engaged in "Ally abuse" with its formal trading partners in Canada and Mexico.

What is up with ‘Rain Man”? He just comes and sits on his boat and ‘goes nowhere’. We need need more boatagers like him to support the marina. Even during the summer solstice, he never ventured into the TO islands to enjoy the amazing sunset.
