Trump Slams Canada's Carney: 'Wants State Benefits Without Being One'

Donald Trump unleashed a fiery attack on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, accusing Canada of seeking the advantages of being a U.S. state without actually being one. The broadside came after Carney announced retaliatory measures against new U.S. tariffs, following the collapse of trade talks between the two North American neighbors.

"Enough!" Trump declared on his social media platform Truth. He specifically targeted Carney's announcement, stating, "Canada wants the benefits of a state (of the United States, ed.) without being one!!!" The former U.S. president also railed against long-standing Canadian tariffs on American farmers, adding, "Furthermore, for many years they have imposed huge tariffs on our great farmers. Enough!!!"

The exchange highlights the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and Canada. The U.S. decision to impose new tariffs, and Canada's subsequent decision to retaliate, signals a deepening rift in their economic relationship. Trump's strong language suggests a continued confrontational approach to trade policy.
