Donald Trump has escalated his trade war with Canada, accusing Ottawa of exploiting the United States as he announced 50% tariffs on key Canadian imports.
Trump delivered the threat in a Truth Social post, saying Canada had been 'ripping off' the US for years through what he described as high tariffs on American farmers and farm products. He claimed those policies had made life 'impossible' for US farmers and created a $60 billion deficit between the two countries.
