By Felo News Desk · Published
U.S. President Donald Trump told a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday that the ongoing trade war with Canada would be settled "pretty soon," according to reports from the Winnipeg Free Press and CityNews Toronto.
What happened
During his speech at the McMorran Place Sports and Entertainment Center, Trump claimed Canada had been "ripping off" the United States on trade and that the United States had been forced to impose levies on Canadian goods. He added that Canada was "willing to give us anything at this moment" and that the dispute would be resolved soon.
What the reports add
The Winnipeg Free Press article repeats Trump’s remarks and notes that the Prime Minister’s Office did not immediately return a request for comment. CityNews Toronto provides additional context, stating that the trade dispute intensified after the Carney government walked away from formal trade talks in August, prompting Washington to impose tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian goods and Ottawa to retaliate with its own tariffs.
What was said
"Canada has been ripping off the United States for years, OK? For years. And I had to do it. We'll have that settled pretty soon. They're willing to give us anything at this moment," Trump said, as reported by CityNews Toronto.
How it came about
The current dispute follows a series of tariff escalations that began in August when the Canadian government ended formal trade talks, leading to reciprocal tariffs on both sides. Earlier Felo News coverage highlighted the broader impact of the U.S.-Canada trade war on northern U.S. states (US states hardest hit by Trump‑Canada trade war revealed) and noted related trade tensions involving Australia (Australia Seeks to Exploit Canada’s Alcohol Gap Amid US‑Canada Tariff War).
