Fact: Canada has a brave and professional military. It has deployed into combat with us many times, including D-Day. Canadian troops, under my NATO command, faced intense fire in Afghanistan where many were killed in action. I honor their memory and salute them. 🇨🇦 https://t.co/9kkvWXHTub

President Trump tried in recent days to use an untested legal power to force Canada to swallow trade concessions. Instead, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney quit the negotiations.

50 percent U.S. tariffs took effect early Saturday on an array of Canadian products. Carney said Canada will retaliate on Sept. 8 for the new tariffs with its own trade measures.

President Trump on Monday said he would impose higher tariffs on additional Canadian products beginning Jan. 1.

Trump and Republicans
They LOVE communists but hate our democratic allies.
Only president to EVER salute a North Korean general. Traitorous.

America’s trade war against its closest ally has escalated again, with the Trump administration invoking section 338 of a notorious 1930 law to impose 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian imports. #CEOdaily

🇺🇸 11/26/1988 | Reagan in weekly radio address warns against Trump’s brand of cheap nationalism and its consequences:

“Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogs who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends -- weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world -- all while cynically waving the American flag. The expansion of the international economy is not a foreign invasion; it is an American triumph, one we worked hard to achieve, and something central to our vision of a peaceful and prosperous world of freedom.”
