Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to fight back against canadian imports on Canadian imports, called it “trade war” that will “harm the first and most important American families”. Trudeau stressed that Canadians are “appropriate” and “humble”, but would not return from a fight, especially when the country’s goodness is at stake.
Speaking to Parliament Hill on Tuesday, Trudeau criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision, saying that Tariff is “to do a lot of dumb work.” He also questioned the argument of working with Vladimir Putin, which Trudeau called a close aide and partner, implementing Tariff in Canada, called a “murderer and a dictator”.
“Today the United States has launched a trade war against Canada. Its closest companion and colleague, its closest friend, said,” Trudeau said, “Trudeau said.
In response to the US tariff, Canada will implement 25% tariff on US goods worth $ 155 billion, which will immediately start with $ 30 billion goods, and the remaining $ 125 billion goods in 21 days. Trudeau also announced a plan to challenge the US “illegal works” or tariffs in the World Trade Organization, citing a violation of the free trade agreement between the two countries.
Trudeau addressed the American public, warning that tariffs would promote inflation and damage American jobs, especially in workplaces that rely on materials or consumers from Canada. He urged Trump to reconsider that the two countries should work together to ensure “prosperity for North Americans”.
“They have chosen to vandalize their agenda,” says Trudeau. “There is no justification or requirement for these tariffs today.”
The Canadian government has also announced measures to support Canadian people affected by trade war, including expanding support for those who lose their jobs and help businesses to remain. Trudeau assured the Canadian people that the government would “continuously fight” to protect the economy.
He addressed the Fentaneel issue and stressed that Trump claims that it is not ready to fight Canada, it is “completely wrong”.
Trudeau also said that Trump wants to look at the total collapse of the Canadian economy to make Canada easier, while it will never be repeated and “Canada will never be the 51st state”.
Trudeau, who is the outgoing Prime Minister of Canada, has been in power since 2015 and is to be replaced as the leader of the Governing Liberal Party on Sunday.
“We are Canadian,” Trudeau said. “We are going to fight and we are going to win.”
