President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held a phone call on Friday amidst escalating trade tensions between the two countries. Despite Trump describing the call as “extremely productive,” Carney still intends to impose retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. This comes as the Dow experienced a significant drop of over 700 points, reflecting growing uncertainty over inflation and trade issues.
In addition to the trade war with Canada, President Trump has also targeted major law firms that employ attorneys who have previously investigated him or worked on cases he opposes. Three firms are currently challenging these actions in court, while two have reportedly reached agreements with the White House. The situation has been described as “completely demoralizing” by one lawyer.
The ongoing trade disputes and legal challenges highlight the complex and contentious nature of the current political climate. The decisions and actions taken by both leaders will have far-reaching consequences not only for their respective countries but also for the global economy. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
