'Well-known evil empire': Barack Obama mocks President Trump's tariff war with Canada
DETROIT — Former president Barack Obama took aim at U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods Saturday during an impassioned speech at a Democrat campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan, ahead of next month’s U.S. mid-term elections. Former U.S. President Barack Obama has criticised President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods during a speech at a Democrat campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan. He accused the current president of creating a "well-known evil empire" and likened Canada to the home of Martin Short and maple syrup. The former president highlighted the impact of the tariffs on Michigan, where auto industry supply chains are deeply integrated with Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney imposed dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs in September after Trump established 50 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in Canadian goods, including motor vehicles. Trump plans to lift some of the 50 per% tariffs at the end of the month, while adding tariffs to new products such as Canadian garbage and sewage.
