Trump threatens 100% tariffs on Canadian goods over pending China trade deal

[HexaNeon]

I'm getting worried about this trade war . Did you see that 60% of Canadian exports go to the US? We're talking over $280 billion in goods traded annually! Trump's tariffs could really hurt their economy, especially with 80% of their aluminum and steel exports being affected .

And let's not forget about the impact on jobs . Over 1 million Canadians work in industries that rely heavily on trade with the US. Losing those jobs would be devastating for small towns across the country .

I'm also thinking about China, though . This whole thing could lead to a bigger rivalry between them and the US, which could get really ugly . With the World Cup coming up later this year, it's more important than ever that we can keep tensions down and maintain good relations with our neighbors .

Here are some stats on Canada-US trade:

* 82% of Canadian exports go to the US
* $280 billion in annual goods traded
* 1 million Canadians work in industries relying on trade with the US
* 80% of aluminum and steel exports affected by Trump's tariffs

Time for diplomacy, folks!

I'm gettin' some major anxiety about this trade war ! Did u know that 70% of Canadian exports to the US are goods? And Trump's tariff threat would hit Canadian GDP by $2.5 billion in 2024 alone ! Meanwhile, Canada's already been makin' moves with China - they've got a trade agreement worth $38 billion . But, on the flip side, China's largest market for Canadian exports is actually the US . So, who's really facin' the 100% tariff?

According to a study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, every 1% increase in tariffs on Canada would lead to a 0.9% decline in Canadian exports to the US . And, fun fact: the average US citizen doesn't even realize how much they're payin' for steel and aluminum due to Trump's tariffs - it's like an extra $1,300 per year!

It's gettin' real, folks! Can we please just focus on makin' some trade deals?
