OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) -- Canada began imposing tariffs Sunday on $12.6 billion in U.S. goods as retaliation for the Trump administration's new taxes on steel and aluminum imported to the United States.
Some U.S. products, mostly steel and iron, face 25 percent tariffs, the same penalty the United States slapped on imported steel at the end of May. Other U.S. imports, from ketchup to pizza to dishwasher detergent, will face a 10 percent tariff at the Canadian border, the same as America's tax on imported aluminum.
Trump had enraged Canada and other U.S. allies by declaring imported steel and aluminum a threat to America's national security and therefore a legitimate target for U.S. tariffs. Canada is the United States' second-biggest trading partner in goods, just behind China.
Speaking Sunday in Leamington, Ontario, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thanked Canadians for standing united against President Donald Trump's sanctions. He urged Canadians to "make their choices accordingly" in considering whether to buy American products.
Good move Trump.
The next time I visit Canada, just like when I visit Europe, I'll have too say I'm not American, I'm Irish, too insure no one shits on my food.
You know what?
I'm sick too death of being ashamed of being an US citizen when I travel outside this fucked up country.
I've heard the same shit from the French, the Germans, the Belgium's, the Mexicans and even the pubs I attended in Ireland, that usually love Americans.
This is really fucked up, and to all you that plan on traveling abroad, don't say your American, or you WILL pay the price.
Been there, experienced it.
Fuck Trump
