  "summary": "US President Trump has threatened to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods. According to the National Post, Trump has stated that he likes Canada, but is frustrated that Canada's trade negotiators are more skilled than the US's.\n\nThe US is scheduled to impose 50 per cent tariff increases on a range of Canadian items on August 19. However, there are rumors of a potential preemptive agreement that could avoid these tariffs.\n\nUS Senator Chuck Grassley, quoted in the Winnipeg Free Press, said Trump's threat should serve as a \"wake-up call\" for Canada to make some changes.",
