Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just handed Donald Trump a massive victory in their trade war. After months of tough talk about fighting American tariffs, Carney quietly dropped most of Canada’s counter-tariffs on Monday. This is a complete surrender disguised as diplomacy.

Canada promised to hit back hard against Trump’s tariffs with their own punishing measures. They targeted Republican states like Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania to cause maximum political pain. But when push came to shove, Canada blinked first and folded like a cheap tent.

Trump’s 35 percent tariffs on Canadian goods are still in place and working exactly as planned. The President forced Canada to the negotiating table and got them to wave the white flag. Meanwhile, American businesses and workers are getting the protection they deserve from unfair foreign competition.

Carney’s strategy was doomed from the start because Canada needs America far more than we need them. Their economy depends on selling to American consumers and buying American products. When Trump squeezed them, they had no choice but to cave.

This win means more jobs and better wages for hardworking Americans. Our steel workers, aluminum workers, and auto workers now have real protection from cheap Canadian imports. Trump delivered on his promise to put America First in trade deals.

The art of the deal is alive and well in the Trump White House. While career politicians talk tough, Trump actually follows through and gets results. He turned Canada from an adversary into a partner begging for a new agreement.

This victory sends a clear message to China, Mexico, and every other country trying to rip off American workers. Trump’s tariffs work when you have the courage to use them. Free trade only works when it’s fair trade.

America is back to winning trade wars and putting our workers first. Carney learned the hard way that you don’t mess with Donald Trump and the American economy. This is what happens when we elect a real leader who fights for our country.
