US President Donald Trump has continued his remarks on Canada, saying that the Canadian dollar’s weakness against the US dollar is not acceptable to Washington.<\/p>\n
In a post on the Truth Social platform, he said the situation had persisted for years, but, in his view, would no longer be allowed to continue.<\/p>\n
The comments came after Canada earlier announced tariffs on imports of about 700 US goods. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the duties would be imposed from Sept. 8 on goods worth 27.6 billion Canadian dollars.<\/p>\n
Referring to Ottawa’s response to the new US tariffs, Carney said Canada’s reply would be “dollar for dollar” and that the country would not accept Washington’s proposal.<\/p>\n
Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne had also previously said Ottawa would, in a reciprocal move, impose tariffs worth more than 27 billion dollars on US goods.<\/p>\n
Canada is one of the United States’ major trading partners, and tariff tensions between the two countries have repeatedly overshadowed bilateral economic relations in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
