US President Donald Trump threatened Canada following the collapse of economic talks, stating that America has "carried Canada for decades" but will no longer do so. He made the remarks on his Truth Social platform. Trump referred to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as "governor" and criticized Ontario Premier Doug Ford, claiming Canada's unemployment is 10% and rising. He asserted that without the US, Canada would not survive and warned of worse consequences. The threat follows the US imposing 50% tariffs on Canadian goods on August 22, with Canada planning retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion of US products starting September 8. Trump also stated the US will not renew the trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.
