    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.

    The first sentence offers a summary of the article with a bit more nuance. While maintaining a bit of the hook.

    The first bullet point summarizing the article places the blame firmly on Trump.

    What's the concern?
