  "account": "US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian goods, including cars, trucks, automotive parts, and steel, starting January 1, 2027. The new tariffs would make US products free of charge, while accusing Canada of imposing excessive tariffs and benefiting disproportionately from trade. Canada has been exploiting the United States, according to Trump, as their high tariffs on American farmers have created a 60 billion dollar deficit. Canada has rejected the US tariff deal, but Ottawa has vowed to retaliate, with Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney declaring that Canada is \"at war\" with the United States over trade. Canada's retaliatory tariffs are set to take effect on September 8, matching the US measures \"dollar for dollar.\"",
