US-Canada trade war escalates

The trade war between the United States and Canada has intensified, with President Trump declaring 'We don't need Canada, they need us' amid escalating tariffs.

The White House's attempt to spin the situation backfired, drawing ridicule on social media.

Analysts say the tariffs are likely to raise prices for consumers in both countries, and that the idea of a prolonged trade war is something Canadians will need to accept.

Fact-checkers have also debunked claims that Canada could shut off electricity to U.S. cities, noting such a move is unlikely.
