Trump tariffs booed in Canada as Trudeau calls for national unity

Summary

Canadians reacted with outrage to Trump’s new tariffs, booing the U.S. national anthem at sports events and calling for a boycott of American goods.

The 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, set to begin Tuesday, could push Canada into recession.

In retaliation, Prime Minister Trudeau announced equivalent tariffs on $105 billion in U.S. goods and urged national unity.

Trump linked the move to border security and fentanyl trafficking, but critics see it as unjustified.
