Canada to Blame for Washington’s Escalation of Trade War, Says Trump Trade Czar
The five orders target motorcycles, dairy and alcohol as retaliation for Canada’s counter-tariffs, and officials say the measures cover about $28 billion in U.S. goods.
- President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Tuesday barring imports of Canadian motorcycles, dairy, and alcohol, escalating the trade war after Canada imposed tariffs on $28 billion worth of American goods.
- Trade Representative Jamieson Greer blamed the escalation on Canada, calling it a 'natural consequence' of discriminating against American exports and choosing 'senseless retaliation' over a near-final trade deal.
- While the new orders completely bar certain Canadian goods, they also exempt products like toilet paper, road salt, and cement to mitigate domestic impacts of the trade conflict.
- Maine Senator Susan Collins expressed appreciation for the administration's flexibility, noting that Frenchville faced $10,000 in extra costs for road salt while pressing for a trade resolution.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that pivoting away from the United States comes at a cost, though he maintains the alternative would be far worse for Canada.
