## Resource

The U.S.-Canada trade war is escalating, with Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canadian goods sparking a retaliatory response that’s hitting American exports hard—nearly $28 billion in goods now taxed. Canada’s targeting key swing states like Kansas, Ohio, and Maine to pressure Republican candidates, forcing politicians like Senator Roger Marshall into tough choices between loyalty to the President and protecting local jobs. States reliant on cross-border trade, including North Dakota, Michigan, and Illinois, face the brunt of rising costs for consumers and businesses. As uncertainty lingers, everyday Americans are paying the price in higher prices—a high-stakes economic and political chess match with real-world consequences.
