Trump intensifies attack on Canada amid tariff row, says 'won't treat them like a State' anymore
US President Donald Trump intensifies attack on Canada amid tariff row, says 'won't treat them like a State' anymore.
US President Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism of Canada on Monday, following a tariff dispute between the two nations. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that Canada would no longer be treated as a state by the US. He accused Canada of "ripping off" the US and imposing "ridiculously high tariffs" on American farmers and farm products, which have led to a $60 billion deficit.
Trump's administration imposed a 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian products last week after talks broke down. Canada vowed to retaliate with an equivalent tariff. Trump announced plans to raise tariffs on cars, trucks, automotive parts, and steel to 50% starting in January 2027 if companies do not build in the US. He also accused Canada of expecting special treatment, comparing the country's demand for benefits without being a state to a 51st state.
