According to new analysis from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. cities who are most likely to feel the burn of a Canadian tariff counterattack are the ones who are largely responsible for Trump’s resurgence. It’s yet another concerning sign of the political gambles that America’s leader is making by attacking Canadians through economic force. Out of the 41 U.S. metro areas, San Antonio (Texas) and Detroit (Michigan) are feeling the biggest portion of Canada’s pushback.

An Ottawa-based travel company says they have failed to sell a single American bus tour since U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs on Canadian goods. According to Travac Tours, a trip to New York City is one of their most popular options, and it has been for years. That is, until we got to the first day of February. Fast-forward to late-March, and the company isn’t even planning any U.S. trips. Oh, and if you already booked one for this year, it could be on the chopping block.

And now, he is threatening to plaster even larger tariffs onto Canada and several E.U. countries should...
