Some U.S. lawmakers are pushing back against Trump’s tariffs and they hope Canada notices [Video]

The clock continues to wind down on U.S. President Donald Trump’s next deadline for imposing sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods. In the meantime, some American lawmakers are pushing the president to back off tariffs altogether — and they hope Canada notices.

“I certainly hope the pause continues,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live. “But my real hope is some final agreement can be reached. Tariffs are only going to increase prices on the American people and probably on the Canadian people.”

Both countries have agreed to stand down on a trade war — for now. On Monday, Trump was set to place 25 per cent tariffs on almost all Canadian goods, which prompted Canada to declare retaliatory tariffs hours later on a slate of American goods.
