Trade war with Canada escalates under Trump administration

The U.S. national debt passed $40tn during the same period, adding pressure to the broader economic agenda.

Guardian Economics says the Trump administration has reignited its trade war with Canada in recent weeks, describing the dispute as escalating.

The outlet also notes that the administration has threatened an “economic D-day” against Iran while the U.S. national debt surpassed $40tn.

Guardian Economics adds that Donald Trump has personally made billions of dollars since returning to office, framing the economic developments alongside the president’s finances.
