    President Donald Trump's escalation of a trade war with Canada is putting Republican senators in key states at risk ahead of the midterm elections. The dispute, which could lead to higher prices and scrambled supply chains for Americans, is drawing criticism from GOP lawmakers in states like Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and Alaska, where Canada is an important trading partner. Democrats are seizing on the issue to attack Republicans for not standing up to Trump's policies. The president has shown no signs of backing down, instead blasting Canada for 'ripping off' the United States and threatening further tariffs.
