Trump says US will no longer carry Canada after trade dispute

unian.ua (Ukrainian)

US President Donald Trump threatened Canada following a trade dispute, calling Prime Minister Mark Carney "Governor Carney" and Ontario Premier Doug Ford a "clown" in a Truth Social post. Trump claimed America has "carried Canada for decades" but will no longer do so. Trump stated the US is "much bigger, richer and stronger" than Canada, alleging Canada's unemployment is 10% and rising. He claimed Canada would not survive without the US, which transports much of Canada's electricity, oil, and gas. Trump warned of "much worse" consequences for Canada if its leaders do not "fall in line." The threats follow the US imposing 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion of Canadian goods on August 22 after talks collapsed. Canada's Prime Minister Carney rejected the deal to protect sovereignty and announced retaliatory tariffs effective September 8, targeting dairy, metals, and other industries.
