Trump responds to Supreme Court tariff loss with more tariffs

from Power & Politics · host Power & Politics

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the broad tariffs President Donald Trump justified with national emergency powers — including the 35 per cent imposed on non-CUSMA-compliant Canadian goods — are illegal, leading Trump to immediately announce a global 10 per cent tariff through a different legal avenue. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc responds to questions about whether Canada will still enjoy a CUSMA exemption by saying the U.S. never granted it 'because they want to be nice to us,' but because it's in the 'American economic interest.' Then, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends her plan for an October referendum that would ask about imposing fees and limitations on services for immigrants without certain statuses, as well as constitutional changes like abolishing the federal Senate.🎙️ Behind every headline is a decision-maker.
