Republicans and business groups are slamming President Trump and his advisers over scathing remarks about Canada following the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Quebec over the weekend.
The backlash comes after Trump and his White House doled out several harshly worded attacks aimed at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who promised after the presidents departure from the G-7 to retaliate against steep steel and aluminum tariffs.
After Trump called the prime minister very dishonest & weak on Twitter, two White House advisers doubled down on the criticism, with Trumps top trade adviser, Peter Navarro, saying there was a special place in hell for Trudeau.
The White Houses comments have ramped up a burgeoning trade war that is causing anxiety on both sides of the border and creating angst among congressional Republicans ahead of Novembers midterm elections.
On Monday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), whose panel leads on trade, said Navarro shouldve kept his big mouth shut, according to news reports.
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) also responded directly to Navarros remarks, calling on his fellow Republicans to push back against Trumps policies. This is not who we are. This cannot be our party, he tweeted.
