Canada Tariffs Delayed Too: Trade War Updates
President Trump has been posting a lot to defend his plan to levy tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China as the international backlash continues to grow.
“Anybody that’s against Tariffs, including the Fake News Wall Street Journal, and Hedge Funds, is only against them because these people or entities are controlled by China, or other foreign or domestic companies,” he wrote on TruthSocial Sunday.
“Anybody that loves and believes in the United States of America is in favor of Tariffs.”
“WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!),” Trump said in another post. “BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID.”
As Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs against the United States, Trump shot back, saying that America actually pays hundreds of billions of dollars to “subsidize” its Northern neighbor. “We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada — AND NO TARIFFS!,” he wrote.
