Trump’s proving he’s got the winning hand once more, and it’s paying off big for America. Canadian businesses are eyeing a move south to dodge those hefty 25 percent tariffs he slapped on, and it’s all about bringing manufacturing back where it belongs. CTV News Canada’s spilling the beans—companies up north, from all sorts of trades, are packing up, looking at states like Ohio and Texas to set up shop. Trump’s tariffs are doing exactly what he said—making America the place to build again.
One Canadian business owner laid it out plain—“I’m looking at two states right now. I’m looking at Ohio and Texas.” He’s got options: “Either I can sell the company to a US company, and I have a few companies—and they would move the production down to there. Or I can move the business myself.” That’s the choice—hand it off or haul it south—‘cause those tariffs hit hard, 25 percent on goods crossing the border, and nobody wants to eat that cost. Trump’s playing it smart—puts the squeeze on, and Canada’s scrambling to keep up while America’s factories hum.
The nuts and bolts show it’s working—those tariffs, especially on steel and aluminum, are lighting a fire under U.S. production. Century Aluminum’s cranking out more—added 45,000 tons a year since Trump’s 10 percent aluminum tariff kicked in. Alcoa’s jumping too, reopening plants shuttered under weaker days. It’s not just talk—steel jobs are up, mills buzzing, all ‘cause Trump made imports pricier, and companies woke up to building here. This is Trump’s promise hitting home—tariffs aren’t just noise; they’re jobs, steel, and America first.
Companies are shifting gears—take Tesla, dodging tariffs by planting factories in China, Germany, Mexico, but still leaning on U.S. soil to skirt costs. Apple’s dropping $500 billion into American manufacturing—think chips, gadgets, all stateside. Eli Lilly’s in for $27 billion—pharma plants popping up here, not overseas. Trending chatter on X backs it—an Ohio steel guy’s saying Canadian firms are sniffing around, ready to move south. Trump’s tariffs are the nudge—businesses see the math, and it adds up to America winning.
The ripple’s real—Canada’s feeling the pinch, and it’s not just one-offs. Industries up there—auto parts, lumber, tech—are staring at that 25 percent wall and blinking. Move to Ohio—cheap land, big labor pool—or Texas, with its no-tax draw, or sell out to U.S. buyers who’ll shift it anyway. DHS might waste $700k on gaming lore, but Trump’s tariffs are the real deal—shifting billions back home. Trump’s got the edge—Canada’s loss is our gain, and he’s proving it every step.
Here’s the straight scoop—Trump’s tariffs are pulling manufacturing back, and he’s right on the money. Canadian businesses aren’t sitting still—they’re plotting moves to Ohio and Texas, dodging that 25 percent hit, proving tariffs work. Zelensky’s whining in D.C., but Trump’s winning here—factories, jobs, America strong. This is Trump delivering—simple as that, and it’s about time folks see it clear. Businesses are waking up—build here or bleed cash—and Trump’s the one making it happen.
