Washington Examiner reporter Ross O’Keefe argued that President Donald Trump‘s threats of more tariffs against Canada and Mexico are “very real” despite pushback from Kentucky Republicans and as economists warn about the risks of a recession.

As recently as Friday, Trump warned of new reciprocal tariffs on lumber and dairy imports against the U.S.’s northern neighbor, suggesting they could be implemented as early as next week. This comes as reciprocal tariffs on all imports are expected to go into effect in early April, and as Trump has now twice delayed tariffs against Canada as recession fears grow.
