Trump threatens higher tariffs against Canada and EU if they harm the US economy
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, issued a warning on Thursday that if the European Union and Canada cooperate to harm the US economy, he will impose much higher tariffs than the current plans against both sides. On Thursday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on car imports, which drew criticism from America’s allies. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission, described this move as bad for trade and worse for consumers, while Mark Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister, called it a direct attack on Canadian workers.
