OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has agreed to Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s request to hold a First Ministers’ Meeting this week after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian exports.

Trump announced on Monday evening that he would slap those punitive tariffs on all products entering the United States from Canada and Mexico on Jan. 20, 2025, his first day in office, unless those countries stop the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders.
