Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s former deputy PM, condemned President Trump's tariffs as economic self-harm, highlighting their impact on American consumers. Trump’s tariffs, 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods, incited immediate retaliation from Canada and Mexico. Freeland emphasized during a Morning Joe interview that these tariffs will raise prices on essential goods, including gas and groceries. She also noted that the tariffs primarily harm American citizens, contradicting the administration's intent. Freeland's comments reflect concerns from various American businesses and unions about the economic repercussions of these trade policies.
This really is utter madness. And, you know, from our perspective, the key thing here is you guys are engaged in this colossal act of self-harm.
These tariffs are going to make life more expensive for Americans. You have put a tariff on the gas we sell you. So gas is going to be more expensive.
