President Donald Trump on Monday (October 6, 2025) said his administration’s tariff policies have made America “a peacekeeper, not just a superpower,” defending his trade approach as he prepared to meet Canadian Prime Minister Mike Carney.
“Tariffs are significant for the United States,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “We are a peacekeeper because of tariffs. Not only do we make hundreds of billions of dollars, but we stop wars.”
