Canada Builds a $750M Trade Gateway — Trump Says “I Don’t Want Canadian Anything”

Canada is expanding one of its most important trade gateways as tensions with the United States intensify. Just days apart, Ottawa highlighted its major Port of Montréal expansion while President Donald Trump declared, “I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything.” The Contrecœur Container Terminal project is designed to increase the Port of Montréal’s container capacity by approximately 60%. Canada says the project is intended to strengthen supply-chain resilience and diversify access to international markets. The federal government has committed approximately $1.16 billion in financing, while the project is expected to generate roughly $750 million annually in economic benefits.
