Congressional Democrat Speaks Out In Support Of President Trump’s Tariffs On Canada

“If Canada thinks they’re better off without our goods, I wish them good luck,” Golden told the Portland Press Herald on Tuesday. “I suspect in the long run, it won’t go well for them.”

The Trump administration introduced a 50 percent tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports over the weekend after failed trade negotiations between the two nations. Trump also threatened 50 percent tariffs on vehicles and auto parts effective Jan. 1.

“America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer!” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. “Someone should get these clowns to ‘fall in line’ or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!”

TRADE WAR WITH CANADA JUST EXPLODED

Canada just declared economic war on America.
They slammed tariffs on HALF of our goods.
Steel and aluminum? DOUBLED to 50%.
700 more American products? TARGETED.
They call it “hitting back.”
Trump calls it what it really is:
For years… pic.twitter.com/L3eV45Jwrb

Canada just declared economic war on America.

They slammed tariffs on HALF of our goods.

Steel and aluminum? DOUBLED to 50%.

700 more American products? TARGETED.

They call it “hitting back.”

Trump calls it what it really is:

For years Canada has been bleeding America dry — $60 BILLION a year in losses.

Our dairy farmers? CRUSHED.

Hockey sticks and whiskey games? OVER.

And then Trump dropped the nuclear option:

“The United States is giving serious consideration to renaming Lake Ontario… to Lake America.”

Ontario’s Premier is losing his mind.

Prime Minister Carney is screaming about “war.”

GOOD.

America First means we stop getting played by our so-called “friends.”

Pay your fair share…

Or lose the business.

**This is only the beginning.**

There is no way Canada is going to win this so-called “Tariff War.” That’s why they are waiting until September 8th.

Notice how they will not release the draft text of the agreement. Because this is all political posturing.

I’m sure American Businesses are looking right now… pic.twitter.com/OGtf0SWhz9

I've got to think Canada needs American products a lot more than Americans need Canadian ones.
Mark Carney will be sorry he entered a tariff war with Trump.

The U.S. imposed new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods such as wine, furniture and dairy products, while Carney said U.S. trade demands proved Washington wanted to “destroy our major industries,” including autos, steel and aluminum, FOX Business previously reported.

“Canada has been ripping us off for a long time on trade,” Trump said Thursday. “Very sadly, even the military, you know, we defend Canada for nothing. We don’t get anything. They don’t pay us to defend Canada.”

#BREAKING: Susan Kokinda explains what the “trade war” with Canada is really about. It’s not about cars, or wine, or dairy products. It’s about the American economic system vs. the Globalist’s economic system. And Mark Carney is the globalist’s banker. pic.twitter.com/W5TwaHOXMd
