Canadian government launches billboards in several U.S. states touting anti-promotion news
Canadian officials are expressing their voices on tariffs through digital billboards in multiple states.
Billboards, such as those found in the Detroit metro area this week: “Tariffs are taxes on your grocery bill.”
CBS News Detroit contacted the Canadian government on Wednesday, which paid for the ad. John Babcock, a spokesman for Global Affairs in Canada, issued a statement Thursday saying the billboards were placed in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, as well as Washington, and the surrounding DC and surroundings.
“The Canadian government has launched an educational campaign to inform Americans of the economic impact of tariffs. The campaign is a strategic investment in Canada’s long-term economic interests, as well as trade relations with the United States,” Babcock said. “Tariffs are taxes on hard-working Americans in their daily lives. They lead to an increase in the cost of daily necessities, including fuel and groceries. The goal is to increase understanding of the American public and resist misinformation.”
The Canadian president’s tariffs were responded, and Canada then imposed tariffs on the United States. Mr. Trump proposes The country and all steel and aluminum imports are 25% tariff. In response, Canada threatens to impose nearly $21 billion in retaliatory tariffs.
Mr Trump said he would raise tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports to 50%, but Withdraw the proposal And keep at 25% speed.
Earlier this month, Ontario Announced a 25% surcharge to all power exports Sent to the U.S., the surcharge will affect consumers and businesses in Michigan, Minnesota and New York, but then Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford Announces Canada to suspend the plan The Trump administration supports the double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum.
Mr. Trump in his latest move A 25% tariff on vehicles and auto parts imported into the United States Wednesday. Experts targeting imported cars may also be nervous about contact with major trading partners including Canada, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and Europe, experts say. Half of the cars sold in the United States are produced within the country. About half of the imports come from Mexico and Canada, Japan, South Korea and Germany are also major suppliers.
Meanwhile, United Automobile Union President Shawn Fain Support Mr. Trump’s tariffs on foreign-made carsapplauding the government “intensifies the end of the free trade disaster that has destroyed working-class communities for decades.”
