Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday asserted that his nation is prepared to resume trade talks when the United States is ready.
Carney’s reaction comes after US President Donald Trump halted trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement citing Ronald Reagan that had criticized tariffs.
He wrote on Truth social: “CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!!They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY. Canada is trying to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court in one of the most important rulings in the history of our Country. Canada has long cheated on Tariffs, charging our farmers as much as 400%. Now they, and other countries, can’t take advantage of the U.S. any longer. Thank you to the Ronald Reagan Foundation for exposing this FRAUD. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
US President Donald Trump on Friday said that the United States is “wealthy, powerful and nationally secure again because of tariffs.”
Since coming back to power again in January, the Trump administration has increased tariffs placed on foreign countries, including China, India and Canada. The US rolled out a sweeping 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods – a two-tiered levy which took full effect on August 27. Of that, the first 25 per cent kicked in on August 7 and was later doubled as punishment for India’s imports of Russian oil.
“THE UNITED STATES IS WEALTHY, POWERFUL, AND NATIONALLY SECURE AGAIN, ALL BECAUSE OF TARIFFS! THE MOST IMPORTANT CASE EVER IS IN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
