AMERICA FIRST WINS AGAIN: Canadian PM Carney Folds Under Pressure as Trump Holds the Line on Tariffs

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The great American comeback continues, and once again, President Donald J. Trump is proving that when it comes to putting America First, there are no exceptions—not even for Canada.


Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the globalist former banker turned weak-kneed politician, all but admitted Monday that he's lost the trade battle with Trump’s America. In comments to Canadian media, Carney described the ongoing negotiations with the United States as “intense” and “complex”—liberal code for we’re getting steamrolled.


With just days to go before the August 1 deadline, Carney has failed to secure any meaningful agreement to stop the incoming 35% tariff on Canadian imports. While liberal pundits cry foul, working-class Americans can celebrate: finally, a president is holding so-called "allies" accountable for decades of one-sided trade deals that hurt American workers.


Let’s be honest: Canada’s been riding the U.S. coattails for years—dumping lumber, stealing auto jobs, and protecting their dairy industry with sky-high tariffs. President Trump’s message is crystal clear: the days of America getting ripped off are over.


“We don’t have a deal with Canada; we haven’t been focused on them,” Trump said Monday. “You can’t sit down and make 200 deals.”

That’s leadership. That’s efficiency. That’s America First.


Carney, on the other hand, is in full retreat. This is the same man who—despite Trump endorsing him over Conservative Pierre Poilievre—ran for office by boasting that he could “stand up” to Trump. Instead, he’s learned the hard way: Trump doesn’t bend for weak politicians, especially those trying to score points in a globalist popularity contest.


Back in March, Carney arrogantly declared he would “dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States.” Great idea—except his entire economy depends on American trade. Now that he’s failed to kiss the ring or bring anything of value to the table, Canada is finding out what the rest of the world is learning under Trump 2.0: if you want access to the greatest economy in the world, you’re going to pay your fair share.


Worse still, Carney’s “countermeasures” have gone nowhere. His bluster about “retaliating” against the U.S. vanished the second reality hit. Why? Because Canada needs America far more than America needs Canada. The power dynamic has shifted—and Trump is in total control.


Columnists in Canada’s left-wing media are starting to panic. Even The Globe and Mail, a Trudeau-friendly outlet, is questioning whether Carney can survive politically. He campaigned on “stopping Trump.” Instead, he’s proving Trump right yet again.


“His real political challenge is that signing on to a deal means making concessions,” the Globe admitted. Translation? Canada’s going to have to swallow some hard truths—and some hard tariffs.


It’s a clear win for President Trump, American workers, and our economic sovereignty. For decades, phony free trade deals gutted U.S. industry while Canada and others enjoyed sweetheart arrangements. That era is over.


America’s message to Canada is simple: no more free rides.


Let’s be clear: the 35% tariff isn’t punishment. It’s justice. It’s leverage. It’s Trump telling the world: if you want access to our markets, you’d better bring more than maple syrup and moral superiority.


Mark Carney can whine to the press all he wants about “intensity” and “complexity.” But from where we’re standing, it looks simple: America wins. Canada loses. Trump delivers.
