Donald Trump on Thursday announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, starting Aug. 1, citing that Ottawa had retaliated with tariffs against Washington.
“Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs,” Trump said in his letter to Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, posted on Truth Social.
Carney needs to call them out and publicly state that the taxes are never going to end because Trump is using them as a fundraising scheme.
Best he can do is cut funding for health care to fund a new military industrial complex.
