President Donald Trump has sparked controversy with his new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, which have led to retaliatory measures and heated exchanges.
As of February 4, imports from Canada are taxed at 25%, including energy products at 10%. Trump defended the tariffs, claiming they hold countries accountable for illegal immigration and drug flow. However, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has retaliated with similar tariffs, calling the move a “trade war.” Trump responded by posting on Truth Social, referring to Trudeau as “Governor” instead of Prime Minister, which many interpret as a jab at his leadership. Meanwhile, China has threatened to take necessary action if the U.S. continues its tariff escalation.
