Americans Express Heartbreak Over Trump's Canada Trade War

Americans Sue Riccardelli and Maureen Murray express heartbreak over President Donald Trump's treatment of Canada, planning to bring a flag combining Canadian and American symbols to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in Gander, N.L. Riccardelli stated that "Americans are not Trump, Americans are not this government," and that "Americans who love Canada" are sending their message.

President Trump later reposted an AI-generated video on Truth Social, depicting him kicking a Lake Ontario sign, following Carney's demand that the Americans stop doing memes. The trade conflict between Canada and the United States is deepening, with the US imposing 50% tariffs after the latest round of negotiations failed. Prime Minister Carney walked away from US trade talks last week, citing "American intransigence."

He suggested Tuesday that Americans are too busy trolling but now wants to restart negotiations. European Union Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič stated Thursday that the EU will not mediate in the trade war, following the collapse of talks ten days ago. Tensions escalated into an all-out trade war last month when Prime Minister Carney walked out of negotiations with the United States.
