President Trump criticizes Canada for economic misconduct and considers retaliation. He accuses Canada of “being very abusive,” citing banking restrictions and agricultural trade barriers. Trump notes that Canada benefits from a trade imbalance, mentioning, “They don’t allow our banks.”
Trump claims, “We subsidize Canada by $200 billion a year, and what do we get? Nothing.” His words indicate a shift to protect U.S. interests and warns Canada, “If they want to play, we can play.” This suggests a readiness to escalate trade conflicts, possibly with tariffs, if Canada doesn’t change its ways.
