28. So, I can just bank in Canada.

Banking is international. Are banks going to lose their US banking permissions if they allow US citizens to bank in another country. Does that mean banks worldwide will need to report US citizen information in order to do business in the US. Or does the chief idiot think he can close down international banking and force banks to redomicile as US only. How stupid. Just how does this work? Maybe they should stop making exception for Bessent when they say the leaders are not qualified for their jobs.
