Canada Responds Forcefully too US trade Measures, Prime Minister Trudeau Deems tariffs ”misguided”
In a decisive move signaling escalating trade tensions, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, nearing the end of his term, delivered a sharp rebuke to recently implemented tariffs by US President Donald Trump on Canadian products. Trudeau characterized the tariffs as “a misguided action” during a public address.
During a press conference,the Prime Minister asserted Canada’s resolve to stand firm against economic pressure. He unveiled Canada’s counter-strategy: the imposition of reciprocal tariffs, set at 25%, targeting American goods valued at approximately C$155 billion (equivalent to US$107 billion or £84 billion). the initial phase of these retaliatory measures would immediately affect C$30 billion worth of US imports.
Expanding on his critique in subsequent exchanges with journalists, Prime Minister Trudeau went further, suggesting that President Trump’s objective was to precipitate an economic downturn in Canada. He emphatically reiterated Canada’s unwavering sovereignty,stating it would never consent to becoming integrated as the 51st state of the United States.
The contentious trade dispute arose after US President Trump’s management enacted a 25% tariff on a range of goods entering the United States from Canada, effective from the preceding Monday. Moreover, a 10% tariff was applied to Canadian energy resources, intensifying the economic friction between the two nations.
