Trump hits back at Canada after retaliatory tariffs announced

President Donald Trump has responded to Canada's implementation of retaliatory tariffs by criticizing the nation's trade relationship with the United States. The escalation follows Canada's decision to impose duties on American goods in response to U.S. trade measures.

In his remarks, President Trump accused Canada of taking advantage of American farmers over a period of many years. He further characterized the Canadian position as an attempt to secure the benefits associated with being a U.S. state without the corresponding status.
