Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says prices for Americans will go up if President Donald Trump follows through with his vow to apply sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.
Trump said in an Oval Office signing ceremony on Monday that his administration 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.
But first the good news. At the confirmation hearing of billionaire U.S. businessman Howard Lutnick, co-chair of Trump’s transition team, Lutnick said the Feb. 1 tariff threat to Canada and Mexico relates only to illegal fentanyl and migrants, but there seems to be progress by the two countries.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the bordering nation is crucial to President ... “We are thinking in terms of 25 percent on Mexico and Canada because they’re allowing vast numbers of people … to come in, and fentanyl to come in ...
Trudeau has appeared on multiple U.S. news networks to warn Canada’s neighbors that their pocketbooks are at risk of becoming collateral damage in Trump’s trade war. “Anything an American president does to hurt the Canadian economy will also hurt American consumers and American workers and American growth,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper last week.
If the president does choose to proceed with tariffs on Canada, Canada will respond and everything is on the table,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.
Canada has cracked down on fentanyl crossing the border in a bid to prevent President Trump's tariffs from hitting trade with the U.S.
The man U.S. President Donald Trump has chosen to oversee his tariff agenda says hitting Canada with 25 per cent across-the-board duties would be an emergency measure to achieve border security — and could be followed by more tariffs in the future.
Nancy Soderberg, a former United Nations ambassador and the director of the Public Service Leadership Program at UNF, joins Bruce Hamilton on Politics & Power this week to see if President Donald Trump is trying to gain the upper hand with China or even truly has an expansionist agenda.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday he is open to working with the Liberal government to pass relief measures for workers if U.S. President Donald Trump moves ahead with devastating tariffs on Canadian goods.
