Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "numbskull" during a speech at the Economic Club of New York, criticizing Trudeau's declaration of a trade war with the U.S. Bessent suggested that Canada should engage in dialogue rather than escalate tariffs. Trudeau confirmed Canada's intention to continue the trade war, imposing tariffs on U.S. imports until Trump's administration changes its trade policies. The exchange followed a reportedly heated phone call between Trump and Trudeau, during which Trudeau appeared emotional at a press conference.
