Tensions escalate between Canada and the United States as President Trump imposes 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Canada to retaliate with tariffs on $155 billion worth of American products. The escalating trade dispute has drawn criticism from Canadian premiers and leaders, who warn of the economic consequences for both countries.
United States President Donald Trump confirmed this weekend that 25 per cent tariffs against Canadian goods will go into effect on Tuesday. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Canada will retaliate with tariffs of its own against $155 billion in American goods, including alcohol, furniture and natural resources.
Furey says the provincial liquor stores sell about $26 million worth of American products annually, and they will be removed from the shelves at midnight tonight. Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says any conversations about critical minerals, oil and gas or any other commodity must include First Nations, and communications with the provinces and territories have been limited to date.
Kinew says cabinet ministers with portfolios tied to the economy have been tasked with looking at changes to procurement procedures. Like some other premiers, she has directed her province's liquor seller to stop purchasing U.S. alcohol and remove American products from the shelves.President Donald Trump says he had a"very friendly" conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, during which she agreed to"immediately" put 10,000 Mexican soldiers on the shared border to combat fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration.
She says Mexico has agreed to station 10,000 members of its national guard on the U.S. border to combat drug trafficking with a focus on fentanyl.
