At the White House earlier this month, US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney were asked about Canadians who, furious over tariffs and annexation threats, had canceled travel to the United States.

Carney reiterated the decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship between the Canadian and U.S. economies is now over.

Canada has sharply reduced tariff-free import quotas for General Motors and Stellantis , citing their decisions to scale back manufacturing in the country, the country's Department of Finance said in a statement on Thursday.

The good-natured Canadian smack talk began before Freddie Freeman even cleared customs late Wednesday night. A citizen of both the United States and Canada, Freeman presented his American passport to the agent at the airport -- which evidently prompted a raised eyebrow.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is challenging U.S. President Donald Trump to make a friendly wager on the outcome of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.
