Donald Trump Sparks Trade War with Allies

During his Monday night monologue, Jimmy Fallon poked fun at President Donald Trump for his recent decision to impose new tariffs on Canada and Mexico, sparking fears of a trade war with two of America’s closest allies. Fallon joked that Trump must not view these countries as true allies, considering his actions.

Over the weekend, Trump announced tariffs of 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, the United States’ top trading partners. This move was met with swift retaliation from both countries, further escalating tensions. However, on Monday, Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on implementing the tariffs to allow for negotiations with Mexico and Canada.

Many are questioning Trump’s motives for starting a trade war with allies while maintaining a friendly stance towards dictators in Russia and North Korea. This inconsistency in foreign policy has raised concerns among politicians and economists alike.

Despite the temporary ceasefire, the threat of a trade war still looms large. It remains to be seen how Trump’s actions will impact the global economy and diplomatic relations with key allies.
