White House holds press briefing as Trump escalates Canada trade war

Watch a briefing by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

It comes as Donald Trump has said he will double his planned tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium from 25% to 50%.

We also should hear about the latest on US and Ukrainian officials meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a truce - with one Ukrainian official present saying they had started well.

Oh my goodness this pillow fight was amazing. Like her comments on the tough questions by the real press organizations. And by far the funniest part of it was claiming to know anything about economics when she loses her job, she could be a stand-up comedian Canada.

Let’s hear her explain how Tariff’s work. She is obviously a graduate of the Trump University.
She’s not stupid, she is just lying.

[alexinadon]

If they don’t want consequences from Canada why don’t they just stop imposing tariffs? Pretty simple to understand right, apparently not…
