The trade war between the United States and Canada is becoming an issue in the upcoming US midterm elections. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods, including hockey sticks, cement, and honey, have sparked widespread criticism from voters in states with close ties to Canada.

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins has acknowledged that the tariffs are 'terrible for Maine' and are making her re-election job harder. Her seat is considered vulnerable due to Trump's unpopular policies.

Some Republican candidates are trying to distance themselves from Trump's trade war with Canada, while others are doubling down on his stance. Democrats have been quick to capitalize on the issue, with Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed calling it a 'war on Michigan.'

The trade war has added uncertainty to the US economy ahead of the November election, with many Americans disapproving of Trump's actions.
