JUST IN: Trump’s Bluff Explodes in the U.S. as Prices Soar — Here’s How Canada Turns Pressure Into Leverage

 

 Trump’s bluff has exploded in the U.S. as sweeping global tariffs drive up everyday prices for American families. Duties ranging from 10% to 50% on more than 90 countries have pushed the average U.S. tariff rate to its highest level since the Great Depression. Cox Automotive projects car prices climbing 4–8% this year, while Yale’s Budget Lab estimates footwear up 40% and clothing up 38%. Major retailers like Walmart warn they cannot absorb the costs, leaving U.S. households to pay the price.

 

 Meanwhile, Canada under Prime Minister Mark Carney has turned pressure into leverage. Ottawa keeps its 25% retaliatory tariffs firmly in place, backed by Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s push for onshoring and stricter labeling rules. Canada is also expanding trade with Europe and Mexico while leveraging its critical role as America’s top energy and minerals supplier. This video explains how Trump’s tariff gamble backfired while Canada refused to yield.
