WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday it is "time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore," just days after trade talks between the neighboring countries broke down.
"I had a deal, that was a pretty good deal, you know, quite good," Trump told Glenn Beck in an interview.
"They don't have anything that we have to have, okay, we can get by. I mean, there are a couple of things that would make it a little inconvenient, but we can get them elsewhere. And it's time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore," Trump said.
Trump imposed new 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian imports on Saturday after talks between the two countries collapsed.
Canada hit back on Tuesday with retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion worth of U.S. annual imports and rolled out aid for businesses and workers, matching Washington's latest duties dollar-for-dollar.
