Donald Trump says someone should get Canadian leaders to "fall in line" or face worse consequences
“Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the U.S.A. Someone should get these clowns to ‘fall in line’ or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!”
Reported August 29, 2026 by therecord.com. Checked word for word against that report.
President Trump escalated a public feud with Ontario Premier Doug Ford after Ford made a crude dismissive remark about Trump’s threatened 50 percent tariff on vehicles built in Canada following the collapse of trade talks. In a Truth Social post, Trump blamed Canada’s leadership, claimed that much of Canada’s energy supply passes through the United States, and warned that Canadian officials should comply or face harsher consequences. He also floated giving Lake Ontario an American-themed name and later signed an executive order symbolically doing so. Ford answered with harsh personal insults aimed at Trump, saying his earlier words had resonated internationally. The exchange reflects growing conflict between the U.S. and Canada over trade and Trump’s willingness to pressure Canadian leaders publicly.
