Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs after Donald Trump confirmed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and 10% on energy, set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

Trump justified the move by linking it to fentanyl smuggling concerns.

Trudeau called the tariffs “unjustified” and imposed 25% tariffs on $155 billion in U.S. goods, with $30 billion effective immediately and the rest in 21 days.

He warned of price hikes and job losses in the U.S., arguing the move violates Trump’s own trade agreement from his last term.

    They absolutely can do something. They don’t want to. They support this.

    This is not Donald Trump, this is America. They voted for exactly this. And they seem to be enjoying it.

      Trust me, we (the sane of us) don’t like any part of the dumbest idiots of the country letting it the rich narcissist Nazis takeover them.
