Double down on Canada

 


In response to Ontario's newly imposed [retaliatory] 25% tariff on electricity exports to the U.S., Trump declared a National Emergency on electricity in affected regions and ordered an increase in tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%, effective March 12.

Additionally, he warned that unless Canada drops what he called "outrageous" dairy tariffs, he will impose higher tariffs on Canadian automobiles starting April 2, a move that could damage the nation's auto industry.

[...]

“The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World.”

[...]

Trump also said Canada would be allowed to keep their anthem, “O Canada.”
