Summary
Canadians reacted with outrage to Trump’s new tariffs, booing the U.S. national anthem at sports events and calling for a boycott of American goods.
The 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, set to begin Tuesday, could push Canada into recession.
In retaliation, Prime Minister Trudeau announced equivalent tariffs on $105 billion in U.S. goods and urged national unity.
Trump linked the move to border security and fentanyl trafficking, but critics see it as unjustified.
Germany checking in: He shouldn’t throw stones sitting in a glass house.
WW3 started over beer dissing. Would be on brand for this century.
