Canadian cafes change name to 'American Cafe' in response to Trump and US tariffs

Several cafes in Canada are changing the name of an internationally popular drink in response to Donald Trump's presidency.

Since winning the election and being sworn into office, President Donald Trump has made numerous comments that have caused controversy among Canadians.

These range from Canada's proposal to become the 51st state, to calling the country's current prime minister, Justin Trudeau, "Governor Trudeau."

He also proposed a new 25% tariff on Canadian goods to force the country to strengthen its borders and stop the flow of deadly fentanyl into the United States, the Telegraph reports.

And the media has recently been reporting that Canadians, outraged by Trump's statements and tariff policies, are now referring to "Americano" coffee drinks, made from espresso and hot water, as "Canadianos."

William Oliveira, the owner of Toronto-based Cafe Belém, told The Post that while he doesn't want his cafe to be a "political place," he wanted to show support for his country.

Oliveira claimed that customers find the name change clever and that when someone orders an Americano, employees jokingly inform them that it is not the correct name of the drink. /Telegraph/
