US-Canada Trade War Threatens Economic Fallout in Key Midterm States
Carney is pursuing European Union ties as analysts say targeted retaliation could limit damage while Canada faces a U.S. economy 13 times larger.

- With roughly 75 percent of Canadian exports heading to the United States, the $31 trillion U.S. economy is roughly 13 times larger than Canada's, creating a structural disadvantage for Carney.

- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent this week described Canada as a "yapping" little dog picking a fight, while political pressure mounts in Ohio and Michigan ahead of November midterms.
