Canada Targets U.S. Red States with Billboard Campaign Criticizing Trump's Trade War

The campaign highlights the economic costs of tariffs as U.S. auto tariffs on Canadian imports loom.

Canada has launched a billboard campaign in 12 U.S. states, including Ohio, to criticize the economic impact of President Trump's trade war.
The billboards, funded by the Canadian government, carry messages such as 'TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON YOUR GROCERY BILL' and 'TARIFFS ARE A TAX AT THE GAS PUMP.'
The campaign specifically targets states that voted for Trump in 2016, aiming to influence public opinion and pressure U.S. policymakers.
President Trump has announced a 25% tariff on cars made outside the U.S., set to take effect on April 3, 2025, which Canada has called a 'direct attack' on its workers.
Canada has already imposed retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars of U.S. goods and is prepared to escalate measures further.
