US President Donald Trump has initiated a “trade war.” When you are attacked, it means you are at war; we have been targeted. Canadian Prime Minister [Justin Trudeau] made these remarks while rejecting the US proposal, labeling it “economically irrational” and “unfair.”
He issued a stern warning that Canada would soon impose retaliatory tariffs in response to the trade measures taken by the US. He asserted that the new conditions proposed by the US were entirely “unethical” and “unfair,” undermining Canada’s overall interests. “We cannot accept what Washington has proposed, nor can we grant what they have demanded.” New tariffs will be imposed on various US products, including steel, dairy, and electronics. These tariffs will come into effect on September 8.
Trade negotiations regarding tariffs between Washington and Ottawa collapsed without a resolution. Consequently, to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses, the Prime Minister announced the imposition of “dollar-for-dollar” retaliatory tariffs against the United States.
