"So considering that Minnesota and Canada, their trade relations are so important, what happens when Trump wakes up and doesn't like a commercial that's on Canadian TV, like that happened last week? Oh, I don't like the way you quoted Ronald Reagan. I'm going to impose another 10% , another 10 percent tariff.. Aren't there real life consequences for people in Minnesota who deal with trade in Canada because he whimsically wakes up and gets angry like a child at something?"
"Yeah, I mean, that's not how you lead a nation. It is actually I don't even have the words for it because it is, like you said, it's very childish. It's very dangerous because there are real life consequences. There are people who have small businesses who rely on getting goods for cheaper so that they are able to make a living out of it."
Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized President Donald Trump's reaction to a Canadian television ad, calling it childish and dangerous. The impulsive imposition of additional tariffs over a foreign commercial can cause real-life economic consequences for Minnesota. Omar cited small businesses, farmers, and manufacturers that rely on cross-border trade and cheaper goods, warning of compounding impacts on cereal production and livelihoods. She questioned Trump's capacity to govern economically, noting his history of bankruptcies and asserting Minnesota farmers will not be rescued by his actions. The reaction followed President Trump's anger over a Canadian ad quoting Ronald Reagan and an abrupt decision to raise tariffs on Canadian products.
