Trump says further tariffs will be placed on Europe and Canada if they do "economic harm" to the US
From CNN's Juliana Liu
President Donald Trump wrote on a Thursday post on Truth Social that the European Union and Canada would be threatened with “large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned,” if they work together to “do economic harm” to the United States.
Some context: Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney said the tariff was a “direct attack” in violation of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement and that Ottawa would examine its options for a response — including possible retaliatory tariffs.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said tariffs would hurt Americans, but hasn’t vowed any retaliation. The EU had announced retaliatory tariffs in response to steel and aluminum tariffs Trump levied this month but postponed them in hopes of a negotiated agreement.
