He should also put export tariffs on electricity to lower demand/price of PQ electricity (or subsidize their electricity from tariff proceeds) that is main cost of aluminum production. Buying a strategic reserve of Aluminum will keep factories open, and allow better deals/pricing for "allies" or new friends, or later dumping on US when they end the trade war.

Trump: "I'll tariff your aluminum."

Quebec: "Harder daddy!"

(no seriously, this is a brilliant move from Quebec. They hold all the cards here, they produce 75% of all the aluminum in North America, and importing from anywhere else is far more expensive because it has to go over an ocean, and shipping metal is fucking expensive. They know they'll get all this business back the moment the tariffs are lifted, so they can afford to just crank up the heat and wait for Trump to collapse.)

It's practically impossible for the US to build up an aluminum industry that can compete with Quebec. Especially not within a presidential term.

Quebec could export tariff to the moon, and there wouldn't be anything Camacho could do about it other than shit himself into a coma, hopefully.
