- The president has accused Canada of “poisoning” American air with wildfire smoke and recently imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, citing alleged discriminatory treatment of American products.
- Trump’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech was criticized for crude attacks on the media, including insults directed at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Don Lemon, and Lawrence O’Donnell, which failed to amuse the journalist audience.
