Summary
Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada by imposing a 25% tariff on nearly all Canadian goods, including a 10% levy on energy products.
His action, intended to pressure Canada to curb fentanyl flows, contradicts official trade figures and ignores that most deficits result from American demand for cheaper Canadian oil.
The tariffs, set to remain until Canada complies, could cost billions to Canada’s economy and disrupt $800 billion in annual trade.
Canada is expected to retaliate, forcing Prime Minister Trudeau to respond amid escalating cross-border tensions.
Can we leave him with his broken foot in the engine and under hood while I start the car?
No he already threw you off the cliff on the way there
