Will Canada bring Trump to his knees? THAT would hit the US extremely hard

The West Will Canada bring Trump to his knees? THAT would hit the US extremely hard Marcel Görmann • 18 hours • 2 minutes read Canada could take its conflict with Donald Trump to the next level! First, the president provoked his neighbors with remarks about Canada becoming the 51st US state. Now, the discussion is about painful tariffs, and a trade war is spreading. All of this triggered a wave of patriotism among Canadians, which has now led to an absurd idea. Canada wants nothing to do with Trump's plans, preferring to remain in the EU. You could say it's just a joke. But who knows what might really happen in this world these days? This could get Trump into trouble with his voters. Stand-up comedian Matthew Puzhitsky has suggested in an Instagram video that the website Pornhub should be blocked in the US. The portal is one of the most popular sites in this adult category and is accessed in large numbers, especially in the USA. The site is owned by the Canadian company Mindgeek, based in Montreal. In Puzhitsky's view, a Pornhub ban would be the "nuclear option" for Trump and the Americans, meaning the ultimate sanction. "If Canada could ban Pornhub in the USA, we would win the trade war," he told the New York Post. "Then that would be it!" In fact, almost 40 percent of Pornhub users are said to be from the USA. "This potential ban could send a strong signal and encourage a rethinking of existing tariff measures," Puzhitsky argues. A Pornhub sanction is thus intended to put pressure on Trump. But this will likely remain an internet joke. Meanwhile, Trump's trade wars are increasingly weighing on the global economy. The Organization for International Cooperation and Development (OECD) lowered its global growth forecast on Monday. For the US, the OECD expects growth of 2.2 percent (previously 2.4 percent). It significantly reduced its forecast for the coming year by 0.5 percentage points to 1.6 percent. According to the OECD, Mexico could even plunge into recession! The experts lowered their growth forecast by 2.5 percentage points to minus 1.3 percent. For Canada, they expect a decline of 1.3 percentage points compared to the previous forecast, resulting in growth of 0.7 percent in 2025. They also expect significantly higher inflation rates in Mexico, Canada, and the US.
