The same day Trump hits Canada with tariffs the U.S. president wants to work a deal with Canada
President Trump has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, sparking a strong reaction in Canada. Canadians are angered by this move, with some humorously suggesting the possibility of becoming the 51st U.S. state. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to retaliate, asserting that Canada will defend its economy. There are discussions of potential countermeasures, such as tariffs on American imports, and some Canadians are even creating trade war merchandise. Meanwhile, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted at a possible compromise, suggesting Trump might meet Canada and Mexico "somewhere in the middle," though not fully reversing the tariffs. Public sentiment in Canada largely supports a robust response to the tariffs.
