The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Sunday that the American people can feel ‘certain pain’ as countries begin to retaliate against their tariff imposition. Trump, who imposed tariffs on products from Canada, Mexico and China, said Canada “would cease to exist” without its commercial surplus with the United States.
In the period prior to the elections, Trump promised to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. However, he also promised to tear down inflation, but with the latest retaliation measures by other countries, he seems crazy.
In a publication on social networks, Trump wrote: “Will there be any pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” He added that the pain would be worth the price to be paid.
In his real social position, Trump attacked Canada, who responded with retaliation measures. While the United States is imposing a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods, with a 10 percent tax on oil, natural gas and electricity, Canada has responded with 25 percent tariffs in more than USD 155 thousand millions in American products, including alcohol and fruit. .
Trump criticized the commercial surplus of Canada with the United States, saying: “We do not need anything they have. We have unlimited energy, we should make our own cars and have more wood we can use than we can use.”
Trump said that without that surplus, “Canada ceases to exist as a viable country.”
