Trump Inconsolable Over Canada's Refusal To Bend The Knee In Trade War He Started

President Donald Trump lashed out at Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney said the country would not comply with Trump’s trade-war demands. In posts on Truth Social Tuesday, Trump claimed Canada has been “ripping off” the U.S. for decades, citing tariff charges of 400% to American farmers and alleging it drove U.S. companies out of business, assertions the article notes are not true. Trump also referenced a dispute over certification of Gulfstream jets, saying Canada resisted for 10 years until he became involved. He further claimed the U.S. lost, on average, $60 billion a year with Canada and threatened to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.”
