Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada's plan to retaliate against U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods has drawn attention from the U.S. government and fueled a recent surge in support for the Liberal party. Joly made the comments during a trade panel discussion at an international security conference in Munich, Germany, where she suggested European leaders could learn from Canada's experience dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump. She stated that the U.S. government took notice when Canadian stock markets began to decline and American consumers worried about rising gasoline prices. Joly also suggested that the European Union should consider Canada a 'canary in a coal mine,' warning that European countries could face similar treatment from Trump, who has already signaled his intention to impose tariffs on the EU. Joly added that Canadians have responded favorably to the Liberal government's moves, resulting in a significant leap in public opinion polls.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada ’s plan to retaliate if U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to slap Canadian goods with across-the-board tariffs has drawn the attention of the Republican administration and fuelled a recent surge in support for the Liberal party.
The minister says there was a"big change" when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Trump's initial threats by saying Canada would impose 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods and respond swiftly to any steel and aluminum import taxes if they are imposed on Canada.
