President Trump has declared a national emergency over electricity after the trade war between the US and Canada intensifies. Trump wasted no time when he was sworn in for a second time as the 47th president by signing an order which imposed ‘catastrophic’ tariffs for Canada, Mexico and China.
The 78-year-old suggested that Canada could avoid these tariffs by becoming the ‘cherished 51st state’ causing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to impose counter-tariffs on the US.
