ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump demands that all Canadian companies doing business with America to move to the U.S. ‘immediately’.The U.S. hits back as escalations go back and forth between the two allies and neighbors with Trump demanding Canadian companies working with the U.S. to move there if they want to continue doing business without tariffs.Trump added that Canada was one of the U.S.’s ‘worst trade partners’ despite the country being the second-largest partner for America, conducting close to $900 billion worth of trade in cross-border economic activity each year, according to the U.S. trade representative.“One of the Worst Abusers is Canada,” he said.“I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything,” he added. “They’ve been ripping us off for decades, and it’s going to stop.”Trump took the trade war one step further and has officially issued an executive order changing Lake Ontario’s name to Lake America, in what is turning out to be a classic Trump move which drew criticism from many as being childish.Still, Trump was insistent, saying:“Let all Canadian Companies that are doing business with America move to the United States, immediately. Many of them are Companies that moved out years ago due to stupid U.S. Leadership. When you move back, there are no TARIFFS!” he wrote.
