WASHINGTON — The gloves are coming off.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney likened his country’s tariff tiff with the US to a full-blown “war” on trade — with President Trump hitting back Sunday, accusing the northern neighbor of trying to secure “the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!”
“We were attacked. You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked,” Carney told reporters on Saturday. “That’s fine. We’ve got the reserves. We’ve got the resilience. We’ve got the plan. We’ve got the focus. We will respond.”
