'World has to burn': Trump scorched over new tariff on Canada

By Daniel Hampton
Published July 10, 2025 9:21 PM ET

The internet collectively groaned Thursday night as President Donald Trump announced his plan to slap a 35% tariff on products from Canada.

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform a copy of a letter addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney, writing that it was a "Great Honor" for him to send the letter, because it "demonstrates the strength and commitment of our Trading Relationship, and the fact that the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Canada, despite Canada having financially retaliated against the United States."

"As you will recall, the United States imposed Tariffs on Canada to deal with our Nation’s Fentanyl crisis, which is caused, in part, by Canada’s failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our Country. Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs," he added.

Patrick Strother, founder of Strother Communications Group, added, "If Trump was smart he wouldn’t do this. That is why he is doing it."
