Trump Slams Canada's Retaliatory Tariffs: 'Enough of This!'

U.S. President Donald Trump declared "Enough of this!" in response to Canada's imposition of retaliatory tariffs, accusing the neighboring country of seeking advantages without fulfilling the responsibilities of statehood. He asserted that Canada has long imposed substantial tariffs on American farmers and vowed to put an end to this practice.

Trump voiced his strong disapproval on his social media platform, Truth Social. "Canada wants to benefit from being a state, without being one!!! For many years, they have also imposed huge tariffs on our great farmers. Enough of this!!!" he wrote. His comments came after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that new Canadian tariffs would take effect on September 8, primarily targeting the U.S. steel and dairy sectors.

These Canadian measures are a direct response to the United States' recent implementation of 50% additional tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, representing 5.5% of Canada's exports to the U.S. Carney stated that Canada would support affected businesses for as long as necessary, framing the situation as a "war" when attacked. He also indicated that negotiations with the U.S. on a trade agreement had stalled due to last-minute changes proposed by the American side, which he deemed detrimental to Canada's sovereignty and key economic sectors.

You are at war when you are attacked.
