Trump says he will hit Canadian imports with a 35% tariff in major escalation of trade war
President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that the U.S. would apply a 35% tariff to all imports from Canada beginning next month, reviving tensions with a major trade partner that had largely dissipated in recent weeks. "Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs," Trump wrote in the letter shared on Truth Social."Starting August 1, 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of of 35% on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs." Until this escalation, Canadian imports that did not fall under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which Trump negotiated in his first term, faced a tariff of 25%. Energy imports from Canada faced tariffs of 10%. Trump told NBC News in an interview earlier Thursday that he would be announcing a new tariff rate for Canada before the end of the week. Canada is one of the United States' top trading partners, with more than $410 billion of goods crossing into the country last year. However, the two countries have had a fraught trading relationship since Prime Minister Mark Carney took office in March. In late June, Trump announced he had terminated all trade talks with Canada, citing its digital services tax that was set to be imposed by June 30. Canada retaliated, imposing a quota on some steel imports and a 50% surcharge for imports that exceed the quota. Canada's finance minister said the government was acting to protect its industry from "unjust U.S. tariffs." Trump's letter Thursday may come as a surprise to Carney, though. After rescinding Canada's digital services tax to appease Trump on June 29, the two leaders spoke on the phone and agreed to work toward a trade deal by July 21. Trump called the digital services tax an "attack" on the U.S. and its tech giants. The tax would have applied to any tech firm making more than $15 million from Canadian internet users. A lobby group for some large U.S. tech companies said it would have forced them to pay as much as $3 billion on June 30. In his social media post Thursday night, Trump said if Canada retaliates again, the U.S. will hike the 35% tariff higher. Canada's top trade negotiator and its ambassador to the United States said this week that Canadian and American teams were in in near daily contact and working towards an agreement. "If Canada works with me to stop the flow of Fentanyl, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter," Trump wrote at the end of his letter. "You will never be disappointed with the United States of America." Canada has previously said that Trump's claims that large amounts of fentanyl are coming across the northern border are "unjustified." U.S. stock futures immediately slid on the social media post from the president, with the S&P 500 index indicated to drop about a half percent at tomorrow's opening bell. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were set to drop more than 200 points.

Trump warns Russia of US arsenal, says don't throw N-word casually
A fresh war of words has erupted between Washington and Moscow after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggested that some countries might be willing to supply nuclear warheads to Iran in response to recent US airstrikes. The comment drew a sharp rebuke from US President Donald Trump, who warned Russia against casually invoking the threat of nuclear weapons and touted America's military issued a strong response on June 23 via Truth Social."Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?" Trump wrote. "Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY," he added. Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, posted on X on June 22: "The enrichment of nuclear material and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons will continue." He further added, "A number of countries are ready to supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads."Medvedev also noted that the "critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle" had not been SAYS 'N WORD' SHOULD NOT BE USED LIGHTLYadvertisementThe US President stressed that the "N word" should not be used lightly. "I guess that's why Putin's 'THE BOSS'," he also praised the US airstrikes carried out on June 21, during which "bunker busting" bombs were dropped on Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment facility. He claimed that the strikes did not even showcase America's most powerful also highlighted America's technological advances in nuclear weaponry. He said US nuclear submarines are "20 years advanced over the pack" and praised the submarine crews involved in recent strikes on Iran."By the way, if anyone thinks our 'hardware' was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines," Trump said. "They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly," he RESPONDS TO TRUMP'S CONCERNSMedvedev has now responded to Trump's concerns."Regarding President Trump's concerns: I condemn the US strike on Iran – it failed to achieve its objectives. However, Russia has no intention of supplying nuclear weapons to Iran because, unlike Israel, we are parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty," he said."I know quite well what this would entail, having overseen our nuclear forces as president. But other countries might – and that's what was said. And we definitely shouldn't be arguing over who has more nukes. All the more so because the New START treaty, which I once signed with a US president, is still in force — for now. The question is: what comes next," he added.- EndsTune InMust Watch
