Canadian Senator Challenges Donald Trump Jr. to Charity Boxing Match Over U.S. Tariffs
Senator Patrick Brazeau proposes a fight to protest recent U.S. trade tariffs while raising money for cancer research.
- Canadian Senator Patrick Brazeau challenged Donald Trump Jr. to a charity boxing match in response to recent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.
- The tariffs, imposed by President Trump, included a 25% levy on Canadian and Mexican imports and a 10% levy on Chinese goods, with claims of addressing fentanyl trafficking and national security.
- Trump announced a temporary pause on the tariffs following discussions with Canadian and Mexican leaders, though tensions with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remain high.
- Brazeau, a former boxer who lost a charity match to Trudeau in 2012, emphasized his sobriety and commitment to the cause, stating the fight could raise funds for cancer research or a charity of Trump Jr.'s choice.
- Donald Trump Jr. has not publicly responded to the challenge, which Brazeau insists is a serious proposal to ease trade tensions and support a good cause.
