During an interview on Fox News, Sayed accused Trump of initiating a &#8220;vanity war&#8221; with Canada over tariffs, particularly criticizing a proposed 50% tariff on Canadian cars, auto parts, and steel set to take effect in 2027 after trade negotiations broke down. Sayed expressed concern that this trade conflict will worsen inflation and highlighted the stereotypical politeness of Canadians to underscore his point. He emphasized that the current economic difficulties are attributable to Trump&#8217;s policies, contrasting trump&#8217;s blame-shifting onto predecessors with the current state of the economy, which he attributes to Trump&#8217;s actions. The article also references recent tariffs announced by Trump and provides related stories on political topics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democratic Senate candidate <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/abdul-el-sayed\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"23138\">Abdul el Sayed<\/a> bashed President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> over his diplomatic and trade spat with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sayed touched on affordability during a contentious interview on Fox News\u2019s <em>Jesse Watters Primetime<\/em>, putting the full blame on Trump for inflation.
