Canadians boycott U.S. goods amid trade tensions

nj.com

Canadian officials have reacted strongly to comments made by President Donald Trump and Senator Marco Rubio about Canada. They are frustrated by Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Many Canadians are now boycotting American products in response to these tariffs and remarks. During a visit to Canada, Rubio defended Trump’s comments and described the situation as a simple difference of opinions. Canadian MP Charlie Angus disagreed with Rubio, saying that denying Canada’s right to exist is very serious. He believes that tearing up trade agreements and making threats is unacceptable. Canada is an important trading partner for the United States. In fact, it is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. The tensions between the two countries could impact tourism and trade negatively.
