- Story Text:People waving Canadian flags protested in solidarity with Canada near the Canada-U.S. border crossing in Buffalo, New York, on Wednesday (April 2) amid uncertainty over Trump's tariffs policy.
According to planners, around 100 to 200 protesters braved the cold weather holding signs in support of their "neighbors across the river". Organizer Kate Powers expressed opposition to the latest tariff announcement and "shame" over Trump's annexation talks.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday unveiled a 10% minimum tariff on most goods imported to the United States, with much higher duties on products from dozens of countries, kicking into high gear a global trade war that threatens to drive up inflation and stall U.S. and worldwide economic growth.
Trading partners are expected to respond with countermeasures of their own that could lead to dramatically higher prices for everything from bicycles to wine.
Canada and Mexico, the two largest U.S. trading partners, already face 25% tariffs on many goods and will not face additional levies from Wednesday's announcement.
