Trump: ‘I don’t want Canadian anything’

President Trump said Sunday he does not want U.S. businesses to import Canadian goods amid continued tariff tensions between the two countries.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said his tariffs “revived, and indeed saved” the American automobile industry, pointing to profits made by Ford, General Motors and other U.S. car companies during his second term.

The president then called Canada “one of the worst abusers” in trade, after his 50 percent import taxes on $27.6 billion worth of goods imported from Canada went into effect earlier this month.

“They’ve been ripping us off for decades, and it’s going to stop. This should have happened long ago with other Presidents, just as stopping Iran should have happened long ago,” Trump continued, referring to his levies on Canadian goods.

The president also said the Canadian government wants “to be treated like a State, but they aren’t one,” adding, arguing that while he deals “with the Leadership of many Countries,” he finds Canada “to be the worst.”

Trump concluded, “They are entitled no longer!”

The U.S. tariffs apply to numerous Canadian products, including wine, hockey sticks, cement, natural honey and wallpaper.

Overall, the tariffs apply to 5 percent of U.S. imports from Canada. American businesses imported nearly $382 billion worth of goods from the country’s northern neighbor last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data .

Canada’s retaliatory levies, which are set to go into effect on Sept. 8, will focus on steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper and electronics, the country’s Department of Finance noted earlier this week .

U.S. goods coming from Canada will face tariffs of 15, 25 or 50 percent — with the rate for each product matching the rate imposed by the Trump administration.
