Donald Trump took to Truth Social just after midnight, firing off a scathing post about Canada’s latest move. ‘Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them,’ he raged. This comes as Canadian PM Mark Carney revealed plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the U.N. in September.
With U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods set to spike to 35% on Friday, talks have been urgent.

Political analyst John Smith tweeted, ‘Trump’s reaction could tank Canada’s economy—75% of their exports go to the U.S.!’
