Trump Demands Canadian Companies Move to US to Avoid Tariffs
· World · The Independent, rt
US President Donald Trump demanded that all Canadian companies doing business with the US relocate their headquarters and production facilities to America immediately. Writing on Truth Social, Trump argued that businesses moving back would face no tariffs, while criticizing Canada as one of America's worst trading partners. The escalation follows collapsed trade talks and US tariff announcements reaching up to 50 percent on Canadian goods like dairy and lumber, set to begin in 2027. Canada has already levied reciprocal tariffs against US steel, aluminum, and other exports. Canadian officials, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, have warned that the country is prepared for an extended trade dispute.
