Protests against Trump tariffs held at Detroit-Windsor border

Demonstrators in Detroit and Windsor protested President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada on Saturday. The protests took place just days before the tariffs are set to begin on April 2. People from both sides of the border joined the rally to voice their concerns. One protester mentioned, "We’re protesting what’s happening to the United States and how we’re treating our neighbor." The event was organized as a response to Trump's tariffs against Canada, which many attendees believe are harming the relationship between the two countries. Earlier this week, Trump defended his tariffs, saying they would help the U.S. recover wealth given away by past leaders. Protesters also took issue with his suggestion that Canada should be part of the U.S. The turnout for the protest was considered strong, even in cold weather. One demonstrator expressed hope that this large gathering might influence change. Organizers announced plans for future events, including one scheduled in Lansing in two weeks.
