Episode Details

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney calls U.S. trade talks “nasty,” framing them as a high-stakes battle to protect Canadian jobs and businesses — just days after President Trump labeled Canada “nasty” while praising its people. With existing U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and cars already hurting both economies, Trump now threatens up to 50% new tariffs starting August 19th — sparking outrage and causing Canadians to cancel U.S. trips. Meanwhile, U.S. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer singles out Canada and China as the only countries retaliating, citing Canadian alcohol restrictions — though Ottawa says those moves were direct responses to American tariffs. Carney also warns that U.S. aluminum tariffs have spiked prices by 58%, hitting American manufacturers hard — proving this border conflict is deeply damaging for both sides.
