Canada Will ‘Respond Robustly’ If Trump Imposes ‘Unfair Tariffs’ - PM Trudeau (13337 Views)

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will respond “robustly” if US President Donald Trump follows through with imposing tariffs on Canada, telling reporters on Tuesday that “everything is on the table.”

“If there are unfair tariffs, we will respond robustly and we will be there to Canadians and protect our interests,” Trudeau said at the press conference in French when responding to a journalist’s question.

Trump said in an Oval Office g ceremony Monday evening that his istration will impose a 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico that may come as soon as February 1 – a move that could raise prices for American consumers.

Trudeau also addressed Trump’s executive action, signed Monday, that directs officials to analyze how the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (the USMCA) is affecting American workers and businesses — and whether America should remain in the free trade agreement. His action requires agencies to assess whether stricter US trade policy could successfully restrict the flow of fentanyl and the flow of undocumented migrants into the United States.


“While less than 1% of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that enter the United States come from Canada, our government has already acted to address the concerns raised by the president about border security with an over $1 billion comprehensive border plan,” said Trudeau. “We’re already working collaboratively to keep our citizens safe on both sides of the border.”


“Canadian energy powers American manufacturing, businesses, and homes. Of America’s top five trading partners, Canada is the only one with whom the United States runs a trade surplus in manufacturing, and Canada buys more goods made by Americans than China, Japan and combined,” he said.

Trudeau remarked that Trump’s stated US “golden age” would require more steel, aluminum, minerals and reliable and affordable energy. “Canada has all those resources, and we stand at the ready to work with the United States to create a booming and secure North American economy,” he said.

“The alternative for them would be more resources from Russia, China, or Venezuela. Canada is a safe, secure, and reliable partner in an uncertain world,” he added.

The tariffs, if enacted, could strain Americans’ wallets, especially given Mexico and Canada are two of America’s top three trade partners. Collectively, they ed for 30% of the value of all the goods the US imported last year, according to federal trade data.

While Trump claims foreign exporters pay the tariffs, US consumers stand to foot a portion of the bill, too, as retailers are unlikely to fully absorb the added costs.

Canada mind go dey very soon!!

This guy has never been on the news for being smart, Canada does now have any capability to survive full American onslaught on its economy, all his choices are just geared towards pitting his country on a face off with USA which will never end well for Canada in a 100 years.

It is only a Nigerian girl that knows what she deserves, but has 0 balance, no job and her parents can't even afford to give her what she thinks she deserves.

It is only a Nigerian girl that believe what she deserves should be funded by a man's pocket.

Very delusional lot.




There are bad men and women out there but the choice of a bad wife is a mistake you should avoid at all cost.

You nailed it.

Less than 6 month he would cool off. Wants to go into a trade war with Europe, China, Mexico and Canada, and people believe Trump has a brain.

How! The way all those countries will bash the US, Americans will be buying toothpick for $10
