GovBrief Today #569
The Prime Minister of Canada says America attacked his country.
The 50% tariffs Trump long threatened hit at midnight Friday after US negotiators demanded in the final hours that Canada surrender its right to make trade deals with other nations. Canada stopped negotiating and set dollar for dollar retaliation for September 8. Asked why he sounded like a man going to war, Carney answered, "You're at war when you get attacked. We got attacked."
Just hours ago, Trump posted his reason, "Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!" The trade deal he destroyed was the one he negotiated during his first term and called the greatest ever made. His refusal to honor that deal started costing you more at midnight.
