A phone call between President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over tariffs grew heated and included profanity, a report said.
Mexico's government may look for other trade partners, the nation's president said on Wednesday, after the United States slapped tariffs on its southern neighbor.
“Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk at the thousands of workplaces that succeed because of materials from Canada, or because of consumers in Canada, or both,” Trudeau said, further warning of rising prices on groceries, gas, cars, and homes.
Global markets fell after steep U.S. tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico went into effect, and as the possible ramifications of a global trade war set in.

Canada announced it would not end its reciprocal tariffs against the United States unless the state lifted its tariffs. Donald Trump launched his tariffs against Mexico and Canada on Tuesday, drawing reiteration from the nations.
