Ex-Trump Aide Scaramucci Predicts President Will 'TACO' on Tariff Threat Against Canada

Anthony Scaramucci, former communications director for President Trump, predicts that the President will back down from imposing a 50% tariff on Canadian goods. The tariffs, set to take effect on August 19, have been a point of contention in ongoing trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. Scaramucci suggests that internal pressure from U.S. corporate leaders and the potential economic impact will lead Trump to reconsider. The negotiations aim to reach an interim deal to avert the tariffs and address other trade issues, such as those affecting steel, aluminum, and automotive sectors.

Climate Change Doubles Likelihood of Canadian Wildfires, Impacting U.S. Air Quality
