Trump says Canada is 'one of the worst countries in the entire world'
President Trump said Monday that Canada has been one of the worst countries in the world to deal with on trade, saying the U.S. gets along with many other countries and makes good deals but that Canada has treated the U.S. very unfairly.
Speaking in the Oval Office, he said Canada has charged American farmers tariffs of 400 percent and more and has taken advantage of the U.S.
On Tuesday, his ban on close to 1 billion dollars in Canadian goods went into effect, covering dairy products, motor vehicles and numerous alcoholic beverages. While signing the executive orders, Trump cited discrimination against American equivalents.
The move is the latest in a trade dispute that escalated after negotiations between Washington and Ottawa broke down in August, with both sides placing tariffs on each other's goods.
The tension goes beyond trade, with an unusual strain in the historically close relationship during Trump's second term, including his push to acquire Canada.
Earlier this month, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada had become too reliant on easy economic links with the U.S., saying the past 40 years brought deeper integration that was easy business but meant too much reliance on one partner, and that time is now over.
