Uh oh, Canada: Trump launches trade war on America's "best friend"
Briefly

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed disbelief at the hostile actions from the U.S. via significant tariffs. These tariffs, announced by President Trump, threaten to drive Canada into recession and are met with widespread Canadian indignation. National security concerns raised by Trump, relating to fentanyl and migration, are challenged by facts showing minimal border issues. Trudeau's call for retaliation, emphasizing potential job losses for Americans, unites Canadians across the political spectrum against the tariffs, highlighting deteriorating U.S.-Canada relations.
"I don't think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, 'Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada,'" Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remarked Saturday.
Trudeau declared more than $100 billion in retaliatory tariffs... "Tariffs against Canada will put your jobs at risk," he warned.
