Donald Trump threatens trade talks over Canada's intent to recognize Palestinian state
Source: Toronto Star
OTTAWAU.S. President Donald Trump says Canadas plan to recognize a State of Palestine will hinder his ability to reach a trade deal with Ottawa the day before his August tariff deadline.
Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh Canada!!!, Trump posted in his Truth Social account shortly after midnight early Thursday morning.
Almost a day earlier on Wednesday, the U.S. President had posted that THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. A BIG DAY FOR AMERICA!!!
Late Wednesday afternoon, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September. That commitment is predicated on whether the Palestinian Authority, the governing body in the occupied West Bank, agrees to a series of reforms, such as holding general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can have no role and ensuring that a Palestinian state is demilitarized. The prime minister spoke to Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, on Wednesday and said he had agreed to the conditions.

(31,201 posts)I hope the Canada PM tells him to shove his tariffs. Canada has likely been exploring other countries to export trade with. It will hurt the US more than it will hurt Canada.

(57,668 posts)I heard on the radio a day or two ago a forecast of 1.5% drop in GDP for 2025, but a rise of about the same in 2026. Steeper fall if tariffs get worse.
Even before tRump 2.0, Canada was the only G7 country with free trade agreements with all the others.

(237 posts)Is there really a constituency of Americans who think toying with our economic well being, toying with one of our most consistent and trusted allies and our neighbor over this, is in our best interest? This is what America first looks like to them?
