A high-profile social media post from the U.S. president has sparked fresh tensions just hours before Canada’s long-awaited retaliatory tariffs against American goods are set to go into effect. The move follows months of escalating trade disputes, with Ottawa imposing duties on key U.S. exports in response to Washington’s earlier tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Analysts warn the latest measures could deepen economic friction between the two North American neighbors, raising concerns over supply chains and consumer costs. The timing of the president’s intervention suggests a last-minute effort to influence the situation before trade barriers take hold.
