Massive tariffs are taking effect between the U.S. and Canada as the North American neighbors are now on the verge of a trade war.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Canada announced retaliatory tariffs Tuesday against the United States, targeting about $20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances and farm equipment. \u00a0<\/p>\n
This move comes in retaliation for the Trump administration’s 50 percent tariffs on some Canadian goods announced last month. \u00a0<\/p>\n
President Trump said if Canadian leaders don’t “fall in line,” they’ll face even more 50 percent tariffs on cars and steel.<\/p>\n
The Canadians say that higher prices on their products will hurt U.S. auto workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several states that border Canada have critical U.S. Senate races in the midterm elections. Democrats in those states are using the trade issue to challenge Republicans.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, President Trump also lashed out at Canada by suggesting the United States was giving \u201cserious consideration\u201d to renaming Lake Ontario \u201cLake America.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the hours before Canada’s tariff announcement, Trump went on social media to accuse the country of ripping off American farmers and driving American companies out of business.<\/p>\n
\u201cI deal with many countries, and Canada is easily the most difficult and unreasonable,\u201d Trump wrote in one post. \u201cThey feel entitled, but they are not a State, and will be entitled no longer!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
