Globe: Trump threatens Canada and EU with larger tariffs if they work together against U.S.
In a late-night social media post, President Donald Trump threatened Canada and the European Union if they worked together to “do economic harm” to the United States, hours after the Trump administration announced 25-per-cent tariffs on foreign auto imports.
“If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!” he wrote on Truth Social in the early hours on Thursday.

Penny wise, pound foolish?
