US Senator Susan Collins has urged the US to return to trade talks with Canada amid an escalating trade war between the two countries. According to The Hill, Collins previously criticized the 50 percent tit-for-tat tariffs imposed by both countries after negotiations failed.
The trade dispute has led to US President Donald Trump signing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" in the US, as reported by multiple outlets including Gulf News, Euronews, and CNBC.
Canada has responded to US import taxes by imposing retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances, and farm equipment, according to Gulf News. Trump has also stated that Canada has been "ripping off" the US on trade and wants to be "treated like a state", as reported by FXStreet.
