Trump Calls Canada One of the Worst Countries Amid Trade Escalation
Original: 🟠 UPDATE Trump Calls Canada 'One Of The Worst Countries' In The World US implemented a ban on $1bn of Canadian goods in
Donald Trump has called Canada 'one of the worst countries' in the world, in a sharp escalation of tensions between the two neighbours. The remarks come as the United States implements a ban on $1 billion of Canadian goods, described as retaliation for Canada's counter-tariffs on $20 billion of US imports. The exchange marks a further deterioration in US-Canada trade relations, with retaliatory measures now hitting both directions of commerce.
Why now: An extraordinary verbal attack on a close ally, combined with new trade bans, is drawing widespread attention.
