U.S. President Donald Trump intensified his trade war with Canada a day ahead of his August 1 deadline for a tariff agreement, saying it would be "very hard" to make a deal with Canada after it gave its support to Palestinian statehood.

Canada faces a 35 percent tariff on its exports to the United States if it does not reach a trade deal with the Trump administration by Friday.

The idea that Trump would use tariffs as a political weapon against a country like Canada who chooses to speak out on the horrors in Gaza is absolutely insane,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on Trump taunting Canada after it backed Palestinian statehood.
