Episode Details

Trump just slapped 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, accusing Ottawa of unfair trade practices targeting U.S. cars, booze, and dairy — a move set to hit 30 days from now and could spark economic chaos, higher prices, and fresh tensions between the two nations. Canada, one of only two countries besides China to resist Trump’s earlier tariffs, now faces consequences — including potential future levies over Canadian wildfires affecting U.S. air quality. Despite a recent photo op at the World Cup with PM Mark Carney — who’s been outspoken in defending Canada’s sovereignty and building trade ties elsewhere — no formal talks occurred. Trump’s beef centers on Canada’s 25% auto tariff, provincial bans on U.S. alcohol, and alleged European favoritism in dairy. The strained relationship between the U.S. president and the Canadian prime minister — a former central banker who vowed to protect Canada’s interests — has only deepened, with Trump accusing Canada of dependence on the U.S. for survival while Carney warns of economic bullying by powerful nations.
