Episode Details

Trump just unleashed a major trade shockwave with 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, citing unfair trade practices in autos, booze, and dairy — a move that could spike prices and strain the U.S.-Canada relationship. The tariffs, set to take effect in 30 days and exempting energy and minerals, mark a dramatic reversal after Canada stood firm against Trump’s earlier tariffs. The feud stems from longstanding grievances — including Canada’s auto tariffs, alcohol restrictions, and perceived European favoritism in dairy — all tied to past disputes like fentanyl smuggling. Complicating matters, Trump’s team is reportedly considering extra tariffs over Canadian wildfires impacting U.S. air quality, following a tense World Cup encounter with Prime Minister Mark Carney — a vocal critic of economic coercion who’s clashed repeatedly with Trump over Canada’s dependence on the U.S.
