'They're ripping us off & they understood it': Key takeaways from Trump's tariff speech

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared Canada ready to replace the U.S. as the world’s economic leader, slamming President Trump’s sweeping new tariffs. Ottawa has launched retaliatory tariffs after Trump imposed up to 49% duties on key global partners, including Canada. Carney called the shift a tragedy but said it’s now the “new reality.” Canada is building new trade alliances as Trump’s protectionist agenda disrupts decades of economic integration. The Prime Minister reaffirmed Canada’s sovereignty, rejecting Trump's suggestion of becoming the “cherished” 51st U.S. state. #Canada #TrumpTariffs #MarkCarney #GlobalEconomy #TradeWar #USMCA #Tariffs #Ottawa #TradeCrisis #LeadershipShift #CanadaLeads #Trudeau #WorldTrade #EconomicWar #NAFTA #TradePolicy #AmericaFirst #GlobalTrade #Geopolitics #USCanada ~ED.346~HT.336~
