Ben Woodfinden: Don’t trust the Democrats. They will tariff us too, just with a smile

No one is coming to save us

<report 29767267-851>

National Post reports that shortly after Trump's latest tariffs on Canadian wine, dairy, and autos went into effect, California Governor and potential presidential candidate Gavin Newsom defended Canada as America's closest ally. However, Newsom's subsequent interviews with CBC and CTV revealed a more nuanced stance. When asked if he would remove the tariffs, Newsom initially waffled but ultimately stated that he could not guarantee removing them, but emphasized his opposition to the "level of disrespect" in Trump's comments about the 51st state.

The outlet highlights Newsom's explicit mention of specific Trump-era tariffs that Biden kept in place, suggesting a potential contradiction in his position.
