As the trade war between the United States and Canada continues to escalate, President Trump is downplaying fears of a potential recession. In response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, Canada has hit back with retaliatory tariffs, further straining the relationship between the two countries.
NBC News Correspondents Aaron Gilchrist, Gabe Gutierrez, Brian Cheung, and Elise Labott of the Council of Foreign Relations joined Meet the Press NOW to discuss the ongoing trade tensions. The panel highlighted the impact of the tariffs on both countries and the potential consequences for the global economy.
With Trump dismissing concerns about a recession, economists and experts are closely monitoring the situation to assess the long-term effects of the trade war. As tensions continue to rise, there is growing uncertainty about the future of the U.S.-Canada trade relationship.

Trump’s “flexibility” is hurting people’s pocketbooks.
They are STEALING AMERICAN MONEY for Rich People TAX Breaks !!! Corrupt TRUMP AND MUSK
Trump is a lunatic. This is frightening. The Republicans who do not step up to combat the lunatic who will run the US economy into the ground needs to go!! They will be complicit to all of this!
Now the “ poor “ American feel the pain coming
FOX network LIES just like the ORANGE CLOWN !!!
Why doesn't Canada want to join the U.S. as the 51st state? Just asking for a friend…
He is intentionally doing it with wall street!! Crazy!!
We're bringing wealth back to America and giving to the Billionaires.
Just one thing to say here, MAGA means get Trump out of the Oval Office and let’s do what is good for Americans again!!!
Canadian policians love the drug money…canada never announced retaliatory tariffs against china but has no problem retaliating against the usa.
Tariffs are being used by the liberals to try and win an election and distract from the poor track record of the liberals. Canada had ISIS members that have canadian citizenship trying to attack the usa in 2024.
"We're gonna become so rich" was directed at the ultra rich, not to you and I.
Tariffs are going to make you rich. Explain how it works. Tariffs are the equivalent of taxes. Trump is a complete moronic, idiotic, imbecile that doesn't understand economics.
😅😅😅😅
Hope you're enjoying tending your chickens and watching your 401k tank.
Have fun!!
xoxo 🇨🇦
Trump lies, lies, lies and he forgets his lies, and tell another lie
Go watch cat videos, avoid this political foolishness, it's all GARBAGE to make us HATE, preparing us to be "real fighters" in a massive war, fracking weevil blastards leading us astray.
BENEDICT DONALD. Carrying out his Kremlin assignment. Traitor. Treasonous LOOSER.

Well you started a month ago with tariffs. Then freeze, then tariffs, then freeze, then tariffs….. Recession coming 😮
no president has ever cried more than him
As a Canadian citizen i say just flip the switch and cut the flow of gas and oil then let the states become our 11 province or are 3 territory then deport trump and musk and Vance
Trump is mentally unstable with dementia and it is getting worse! Impeach trump before he continues to destroy Americans!
Commerce secretary sounds like the guy dealing cards on the street corner OR a New York doorman. Let's hope he can save the country from recession
how can tariffs bring back wealth to america when it is the american consumers who will ultimately pay the price increases. this president has to go back to school to study economics.
In Donald Trump’s eyes unless you have money shut up you are beneath him. You are a peasant in his kingdom.
Lutnick is the new Baghdad Bob!
ANOTHER TARRIF THREAT
OMG
When a wealthy man can’t get wood anymore he spirals into madness.
Relax people Trumps time in the office has just begun . He will Make America Great Again. Look at what has come to light in a short amount of time. Give it time and let the games begin.
He misspoke just a little, he meant ,"We are bringing (more) wealth back to my wealthy American friends."
Always negative news
Just sad greed, Trump will bankrupt the USA just as he’s done to himself, many times before.
All trumps cabinet & republicans magas in Congress and Senate are lying! Trump is destroying everything to become a tyrannical tyrant!
All those investments decision were made in the last 7 weeks! Really… These were projects that have been in the works for years and have nothing to do with what he is doing today, when they pull that may be the reason.
Lutnick, ain't that the guy in the movie, The Mummy? Sure looks like him. 🤔😛
Canada should join the EU
Some period of deflation on the horizon
DUH! This VETERAN VOTED for the most qualified Presidential Candidate, Kamala Harris. I PRAY for all ARMED FORCES Members; for the Commander in Chief is America’s ENEMY WITHIN.
