Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has come out to say that the country will not back down in the escalating trade conflict with the United States. He recently had his say while speaking to the nation following Washington’s decision to impose 25 per cent tariffs on nearly all Canadian exports, and the world has been reacting.
According to him, he can only reiterate his government’s commitment to responding with countermeasures, so billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs have already been implemented, with additional measures set to take effect in the coming weeks.
He added that Canadians can be assured that the federal government would use every tool at their disposal to support citizens affected.
His words, “Make that make sense.
Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight. Not when our country and the well-being of everyone in it is at stake.
This is going to be tough. Canadians can be assured that the federal government would use every tool at our disposal to support those affected.
Americans should know that their government has chosen this for them.
Trump’s reasoning is completely bogus because Canada’s border is already secure.
We stepped up. We engaged closely and constructively with the president and his administration. We did everything we promised. We stuck to our word. And we did it because we believe in working together to protect our citizens.
In the over eight years you and I have worked together, we’ve done big things. We’ve signed a historical deal that has created record jobs and growth in both of our countries. We’ve done big things on the world stage … and now, we should be working together to ensure even greater prosperity for North Americans in a very uncertain and challenging world.
It’s not in my habit to agree with The Wall Street Journal but Donald, they point out that even though you’re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.
We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see.
First of all, that’s never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state. But yeah, he can do damage to the Canadian economy, and he’s started this morning.
WOW.
