Obama mocks Trump tariffs on Canada during Michigan campaign stop
Barack Obama ridiculed Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods while campaigning in Detroit, arguing that the policy was raising costs for US consumers.
Barack Obama ridiculed Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods while campaigning in Detroit, arguing that the policy was raising costs for US consumers.
Obama mocked the current president’s tariff war with its northern neighbour while jokingly referring to Canada as a “well-known evil empire” and the home of Martin Short and maple syrup.
The former president says Trump has upset Canadians through his abuse of the country and talks of making it the 51st state.
He says the impacts of the tariffs are particularly evident in Michigan, where auto industry supply chains are deeply integrated with Canada and automakers have long said tariffs increase production costs.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney imposed dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs in September after Trump established 50 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in Canadian goods, including motor vehicles.
Trump says he will lift some of those 50 per cent tariffs at the end of the month, while adding tariffs to dozens of new products, including Canadian garbage and sewage.
