Trump Defends Tariffs on Canadian Goods Amid Trade Dispute with Canada
US President Donald Trump defended new tariffs on Canadian goods, accusing Canada of unfair trade practices and claiming the US loses between $60 billion and $100 billion annually in their trade relationship. He cited tariffs on American farmers, restrictions on US banks, and disadvantages for US tourists and airlines. The US recently imposed 50% tariffs on select Canadian goods and plans to double tariffs on Canadian automobiles next year. Canada is expected to announce retaliatory measures soon.
