Trump's "gray Cardinal" made an unexpected move against Canada

While the USA and Canada is exchanging statements about possible tariffs and retaliatory measures, and Tesla, led by American businessman Elon Musk, has taken an interesting step. The publication informs about this Gazeta.Pl .

EADaily reminds that the media of the States are increasingly calling Mask the "gray cardinal" of American President Donald Trump.

Without any announcement or reason, Elon Musk's Tesla raised the price list for cars sold in Canada. The prices of the Y, S and X models will rise. The new tariffs will be effective from February 1.

The media suggest that the price list change may be part of a political struggle between the United States and Canada. Shortly after winning the presidential election, Donald Trump announced the introduction of a 25 percent duty on Canadian goods. Then Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau threatened a "very serious" response from Canada.

"Canada provides a lot of necessary resources that the American economy needs to develop and prosper," Trudeau argued.

Canada's main exports to the US are oil and gas, but the country also supplies many vehicles, machinery and electronic equipment. US imports from Canada's budget in 2023 amounted to $ 429.6 billion, which is why Justin Trudeau reported that the development of the United States, promised by Donald Trump, would require Canadian resources.

At the same time, Donald Trump believes that Canada should become part of the United States.

"To many people in Canada likes the idea of becoming the 51st state. The US can no longer suffer from the huge trade deficit and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat," he said.
