Trump says Canada

U.S. President Donald Trump took a few swings at Canada during a spate of AI-generated posts to his Truth Social platform on Sunday afternoon, including a complaint about the value of the Canadian dollar.

“Canada’s (currency) Dollar imbalance with the U.S. is unacceptable,” he wrote in the morning. “It has been that way for years – but no longer!”

The Canadian dollar trades for about 72 U.S. cents, making their dollar CA$1.38, according to the Bank of Canada.

The U.S. is set to be hit with Canada’s retaliatory tariffs Tuesday, adding to the tension of an already complicated and costly trade war.

Early Sunday afternoon, after sharing AI-generated images of himself with George Washington — one in the Oval Office with this cabinet, another of the pair astride horses — the president posted another image of himself writing America over Ontario on a map of the suddenly disputed lake.
