The U.S. Must Stop Threatening Canada

It is outrageous that our government is attacking our neighbor and threatening its existence as an independent country.

The president makes more deranged threats against Canada’s independence and raises steel and aluminum tariffs even higher:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday doubled his planned tariff on all steel and aluminum products coming into the United States from Canada, bringing the total to 50%, in response to the province of Ontario placing a 25% tariff on electricity coming into the U.S.

Waging an economic war against one of our biggest trading partners is one of the most self-destructive things that the U.S. could do. Trump is screwing businesses and consumers in both countries so that he can pretend to be a 19th century expansionist. It is outrageous that our government is attacking our neighbor and threatening its existence as an independent country. It was never funny, and it has become a serious scandal.
