Pence warns tariffs on Canada could backfire on US economy
Former Vice President Mike Pence said tariffs on Canadian goods would hurt American businesses and consumers, calling a trade war the last thing the economy needs. Negotiations between the Trump administration and Canada collapsed, leading to 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods and Canadian retaliation set for Sept. 8. Pence urged both sides to pursue free trade rather than confrontation.
