Trump Says 'We Don't Need Canada' as He Pushes Tariffs Back Up
The U.S. President said new tariffs will be imposed on some Canadian imports in, as the two countries standoff over trade.
President Donald Trump has announced plans to reimplement 50 percent tariffs on imports from Canada, citing unfair trade practices and the need to prioritize American workers and businesses. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that Canada's high tariffs on American farmers and farm products have made life impossible for farmers, and that the country should be treated like a state no longer.
The tariffs will be imposed on cars, trucks, automotive parts, and steel from January 1, 2027. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has described the situation as "at war" with the U.S. over trade, while the White House has defended Trump's decision, stating that American workers, businesses, and farmers have been undermined by unfair Canadian trade practices.
