US President Trump hits back at Canada after retaliatory tariffs announcement

U.S. President Donald Trump launched a strong verbal counterattack against Canada on Sunday, following Prime Minister Mark Carney's announcement of retaliatory tariffs. Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express his displeasure, asserting that Canada seeks the advantages of being a U.S. state without fulfilling the associated obligations.

Trump specifically targeted Canada's long-standing tariffs on American farmers, declaring, "No more!!!" This statement comes in response to Canada's planned tariffs, which are scheduled to be implemented on September 8. These measures notably aim at the U.S. steel and dairy sectors.

Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!

The trade dispute escalated after the U.S. imposed new tariffs, affecting approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, which represents about 5.5 percent of Canada's exports to the United States. These U.S. tariffs went into effect on Saturday, prompting Canada's retaliatory response.
