President Trump scored a big win this weekend. No matter how wrongheaded he can be on trade — he recently described trade with the U.S. as a “privilege” for foreigners — no one can take this win away from him.

Trump forced Canada to bow to his will and accept a new trade agreement that its government had resisted. Trump first settled it with a willing Mexican government, a trading partner whose economy is growing much faster and will matter much more in the near future. The Canadians were then forced either to capitulate or find themselves out in the cold with their noses pressed up against the window looking in at the party being enjoyed by others inside. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, fearful of being cut out, cried uncle on Sunday night and accepted.
