Trump Says He Will Raise Tariffs On Canada Metals To 50%

Reuters03-11

President Donald Trump on Tuesday doubled his planned tariff on all steel and aluminum products coming into the United States from Canada, bringing the total to 50%, in response to the province of Ontario placing a 25% tariff on electricity coming into the U.S.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social he has instructed his commerce secretary to add an additional 25% tariff on the products that will go into effect on Wednesday morning.

"Also, Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area," Trump wrote.

He also threatened to "substantially increase" tariffs on cars coming into the United States on April 2 "if other egregious, long time Tariffs are not likewise dropped by Canada."

    It seems the USA exists under a dictatorship, and perhaps, in essence, they always have, historically moving forward positively only due to the caliber of their presidential candidates. So now they have a dud, and crucially, they've allowed said dud to take control not once, but twice. At what point will USA decide enough is enough and demand their democracy back from the man who would be King?

    Trump should be checked for mental fitness. He's acting like a grumpy old man who is losing the plot.
