Standing in the Rose Garden on Wednesday afternoon to unveil his new reciprocal tariffs, U.S. President Donald Trump again falsely claimed that the U.S. subsidizes Canada by hundreds of billions of dollars every year and misrepresented Canada's tariffs on U.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on the Senate to keep the United States' tariffs on Canada in place -- hours before Democrats in the upper chamber could potentially force a vote aimed at blocking the president from imposing tariffs on the ally country.

The move is a direct retaliation to Donald Trump's levies, indicating escalating trade tensions between the two nations.
