The goal is to stop trade. It doesn’t matter who it hurts.

The headline: States hit by Canada’s tariffs
The first sentence: The U.S. and Canada have imposed tit-for-tat tariffs following a breakdown in trade talks.
The first bullet: Canada has responded to U.S. tariffs with sweeping duties on products including cheese and steel.
The goal of a headline is to hook as many people. If you’re informed, you know that the tariffs are retaliatory. If you’re a Trump supporter, you aren’t clicking an article blaming Trump, because that would make you sad. This headline maximizes clicks and is accurate without losing too much nuance.
