The idea that Trump would use tariffs as a political weapon against a country like Canada who chooses to speak out on the horrors in Gaza is absolutely insane,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on Trump taunting Canada after it backed Palestinian statehood.

President Donald Trump says Canada's support for a Palestinian state will make any trade deal between Washington and Ottawa "very hard."

U.S. President Donald Trump intensified his trade war with Canada a day ahead of his August 1 deadline for a tariff agreement, saying it would be "very hard" to make a deal with Canada after it gave its support to Palestinian statehood.
