  • President Donald Trump called on Canadian companies doing business with the United States to move their operations south to avoid tariffs.

  • The United States imposed new 50% tariffs on various Canadian goods from Aug. 22, while Ottawa plans reciprocal duties from Sept. 8.

Donald Trump has offered Canadian companies a blunt choice: move to the United States immediately and avoid tariffs.

“Let all Canadian companies doing business with the United States move to the United States, immediately… When they return, there are no TARIFFS!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

In another message, he said he did not want Canadian cars or parts. “I don’t want anything Canadian. They have been ripping us off for decades, and that is going to end,” he wrote. Trump also called Canada “one of the worst abusers” in trade and said it no longer deserved special privileges.

The president credited his administration’s tariffs with reviving and saving the U.S. auto industry. Tensions between the neighbors have risen since trade negotiations failed earlier in August.

The breakdown led Washington to impose new 50% tariffs on various Canadian goods starting Aug. 22. Ottawa plans to respond with corresponding customs duties scheduled to take effect Sept. 8.
