Canada ready to respond to Trump’s tariff hike – PM Trudeau

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, says his government was ready to respond to all scenarios if U.S. President, Donald Trump, imposes tariffs on Canada.

Trudeau made this statement on Tuesday.

When asked about an uncertain timeline on possible tariffs, Trudeau said Trump is a skilled negotiator who likes to keep his negotiating partners a bit off-balance.

DAILY POST gathered that Trump is expected to sign more executive orders on his second day in office.

Recall that on Monday he suggested across-the-board tariffs on Mexican and Canadian exports to the United States could take effect beginning in February.

“Donald Trump’s approach does bring in uncertainty. As regards next formal interactions, stay tuned,” he said.

According to him, Trump’s promised prosperity for America will require Canadian resources to fuel it.

“Canada provides many of the necessary inputs the American economy is going to need in order to grow and boom,” he added.
