Michigan GOP Senate Candidate Rogers Breaks with Trump Over Canada Trade War
Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate nominee in Michigan, released an advertisement criticizing President Trump's trade war with Canada, stating that "Canada is not our enemy."

Left-leaning outlets frame Rogers' stance as a betrayal of Trump, using language like "knifed" and emphasizing this as part of a pattern of Rogers breaking with the administration on key issues.
Center outlets report the development factually, noting Rogers' direct criticism of the trade war policy without framing it as particularly dramatic or noteworthy beyond the candidate's positioning.
Right-leaning outlets report that Rogers is distancing himself from Trump's trade war, presenting it as a straightforward statement by the GOP candidate without inflammatory language.
