Europe and Canada have announced retaliatory measures against the steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by former President Trump. The move comes as tensions continue to rise between the United States and its allies over trade policy. The retaliatory tariffs from Canada come after Trump downplayed fears of a recession and the U.S. made concessions by dropping an additional 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum.
In the midst of this trade dispute, constituents in Speaker Mike Johnson’s district in Louisiana are expressing fear and concern about potential cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. The Department of Education has also slashed its workforce in half, adding to the economic uncertainty in the country. As the government funding bill passes through the House and heads to the Senate for a vote, the political landscape remains contentious.
Amidst all this, the White House has suggested that Canada could benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state, further highlighting the strained relations between the two countries. These developments are occurring against a backdrop of economic transition and uncertainty, with fears of a government shutdown looming.
