White House says Canada has 'misunderstood' tariff order as a trade war, Mexico is 'serious'

The White House acknowledged Mexico's seriousness in addressing President Trump's tariff demands, while Canada seems to misunderstand them as indicators of a trade war. Trump has imposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China to curb illegal immigration and fentanyl inflow. He suggested that these measures might cause short-term pain but will be beneficial in the long run.
