Trump Brands Canada 'One of Worst Countries in World' Amid Escalating Trade War
President Donald Trump escalated his trade war rhetoric against Canada on Monday, calling it 'one of the worst countries in the entire world.'
In a speech from the Oval Office, Trump claimed that Canada has treated the US unfairly by imposing steep tariffs on American agricultural products.
He cited the example of Canadian tariffs reaching as high as 400% on some US goods, saying 'they take advantage of us.'
Trump also accused Canada of relying heavily on the US economy while offering little in return, stating that Americans provide significant support to Canada, including military cooperation and icebreakers.
The US President emphasized that Canada has become overly dependent on its southern neighbor and insisted that 'there's nothing they have that we need.'
