Donald Trump on Thursday announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, starting Aug. 1, citing that Ottawa had retaliated with tariffs against Washington.
“Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs,” Trump said in his letter to Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, posted on Truth Social.
Enacting tariffs against our trading partners, and excellent neighbors, as well as allies, is an act of war. It puts America in ‘national security’ peril. We are not being attacked by Canada or Mexico. It’s putin’s Russia you need to be concerned about, you orange cancer.
In Trumps addled mind, Canada not buying US milk is a national security threat.
That’s giving him way too much credit; he clearly doesn’t care about national security.
