Congress must act now to stop this reckless and self-inflicted economic disaster before even more damage is done. Canada is not our enemy. Canada is our closest ally, neighbor, and one of our most important trading partners. Yet President Trump has launched a destructive trade war that is threatening to tear apart one of the strongest economic and diplomatic relationships on Earth. The United States has imposed 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion in Canadian goods, and Canada is preparing dollar-for-dollar retaliation. Now Trump is threatening 50% tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel. This is not strength. This is economic sabotage. Who pays the price? American families. American farmers. American workers. American manufacturers. Our auto industries are deeply interconnected. Our supply chains cross the border repeatedly. When Washington launches a tariff war against Canada, Americans get hit with higher prices, businesses face uncertainty, workers face layoffs, and manufacturers lose competitiveness. And for what? Political theater? A negotiating tactic that has already triggered retaliation and poisoned a relationship built over generations? Congress cannot sit silently while the White House turns our greatest ally into an economic adversary. You have the constitutional authority over commerce. Use it. Stop this fiscal catastrophe. Reclaim Congress’s authority. End this reckless escalation. Demand serious diplomacy instead of impulsive economic warfare. Every day this continues, the damage grows—not only to our economy, but to the trust between two nations that have stood together through wars, crises, and generations of friendship. Canada deserves better. America deserves better. And Congress must finally find the courage to say: End this trade war. Protect American workers and families. Save one of the greatest international relationships our country has ever known. Now.
