*Kimmel Roasts Trump’s Tariffs: ‘Shaking Down Canada?’*

LOS ANGELES, CA – Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has unleashed a scathing critique of President Trump’s tariffs, questioning the wisdom of imposing taxes on goods from Canada and other nations.

During his monologue on Tuesday night, Kimmel ridiculed Trump’s tariffs, saying, “Can you believe we’re shaking down Canada? Our friends, our neighbors, our apologizers… We’re taxing them, and they’re not even getting a participation trophy.”

Kimmel’s comments came in response to Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. The move has sparked widespread criticism from lawmakers, business leaders, and trade experts.

“Are we really going to start a trade war with our closest allies?” Kimmel asked. “I mean, what’s next? Are we going to put a tariff on apologetic emails from Canadians?”

Kimmel’s monologue also took aim at Trump’s claims that the tariffs will help protect American jobs and industries. “If you want to protect American jobs, maybe you should start by protecting American jobs from American companies that ship them overseas,” Kimmel said.

The late-night host’s comments were met with applause and laughter from his studio audience, and his monologue quickly went viral on social media.
