Trump escalates the trade fight, saying Canada’s currency imbalance has cost the U.S. $60 billion a year on average, according to his earlier post.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump escalated the trade dispute with Canada, warning on Truth Social that the country's currency imbalance with the United States is "unacceptable" and vowing the situation will not continue.
- Heightened rhetoric and a breakdown in high-stakes negotiations preceded the warning, following Trump's August 25 claim that Canada had been "ripping off" the United States for decades through excessive tariffs on American farmers and businesses.
- Trump asserted that the United States lost an average of $60 billion annually in trade with Canada over the past decade, while Canada has pledged to match U.S. trade actions "dollar for dollar" starting September 8.

- Neither the White House nor Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney provided details on new actions following Trump's latest post, leaving the prospect of further trade restrictions and retaliatory measures uncertain as negotiations remain stalled.
