The headline, I checked, says:

Trump says larger tariffs could be imposed on Canada, EU if they cause US 'economic harm'

The "they" is ambiguous.

It can be read:

Trump says larger tariffs could be imposed on Canada, EU if the tariffs cause US 'economic harm'

And in a sick way, that seems valid.

He thinks so.

Disclaimer: IANAEM. I am not an English major.

Physics.
