Trump Says Canada Treated US ‘Very Unfairly’, Calls It ‘One of the Worst Countries’

Trump called Canada one of the worst countries as 50% U.S. tariffs on about $28 billion in goods deepened the dispute, officials said.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump called Canada "one of the worst countries in the entire world" during an Oval Office press event, escalating trade tensions while accusing Ottawa of treating the United States "very unfairly."
  • Trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa have intensified in recent months, following last month's imposition of tariffs on roughly $28 billion of Canadian goods, which prompted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to respond with retaliatory tariffs.
  • Insisting "there's nothing they have that we need," Trump claimed Canada charges farmers 400% tariffs and accused Canadian leaders of feeling "entitled" to United States economic reliance.
  • Amid deteriorating relations, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is broadening partnerships, including potential "associate member" status with the European Union and new agreements with India and China to diversify markets.
  • Todd Belt of George Washington University noted Trump failed to anticipate Canadian retaliation targeting Senate toss-up seats, while attorney George Conway pointed to polls showing Americans still favor Canada over Trump.
