**HAPPENING NOW! Trump FURIOUS as Canada Pulls the Plug on America While 50% Tariffs Come Into Effect**
In a dramatic escalation of trade tensions, President Donald Trump has unleashed a staggering 50% tariff on foreign steel and aluminum, effective immediately. The move, intended to bolster American manufacturing, has sent shockwaves through the economy and ignited a furious backlash from Canada, the U.S.’s largest supplier of these critical metals.
As of June 4, 2025, every ton of steel and aluminum entering the U.S. — except from the UK — is now subject to this historic levy, the highest since World War II. The ramifications are immediate and severe: food prices are set to soar, new home construction costs could spike by nearly $11,000, and industries from automotive to aerospace brace for a supply chain crisis.
Canada, which supplies over half of America’s aluminum and a significant portion of its steel, is not taking this lightly. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has vowed retaliation, hinting at a potential counter-strike on U.S. electricity exports that serve millions of Americans. “We won’t be steamrolled,” he declared, as Canada rapidly pivots to a “made in Canada” strategy for federal contracts.
The ripple effects are already being felt across various sectors. Food manufacturers warn that canned goods will see price hikes, while craft breweries face existential threats from rising can costs. Automakers are poised for sticker shock as they grapple with soaring input prices, with stocks of major companies like Ford and GM dropping sharply in response.
As tensions escalate, the question looms: will this protectionist move isolate the U.S. on the global stage? With Canada and potentially Mexico and the EU preparing countermeasures, the risk of a full-blown trade war is real. Economists warn that while some U.S. industries may benefit in the short term, the long-term consequences could be dire for American consumers and businesses alike.
The clock is ticking, and as the fallout unfolds, Americans must brace for a tumultuous economic landscape where the stakes have never been higher.
