Trump said it was time to teach Canada a lesson
U.S. President Donald Trump made harsh remarks about Canada amid a new escalation in trade tensions between the two countries.
According to him, the U.S. can do without most Canadian goods, since the necessary products can be obtained from other sources.
Trump also stated that it is time to make it clear to Canada that it can no longer act as it did before. At the same time, he noted that, in his opinion, there used to be a fairly good trade agreement between the two countries.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that, starting January 1, 2027, the United States will impose 50 percent tariffs on cars, auto parts, and steel from Canada. This was reported by Deutsche Welle. The statement came amid an escalation of the trade dispute between the two countries following the breakdown of negotiations.
U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the imposition of corresponding tariffs against the United States. The Canadian measures, which target the U.S. steel and dairy industries in particular, are set to take effect on September 8.
