Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assures a 'purposeful, forceful but reasonable' response to U.S. President Donald Trump's looming 25% tariffs on Canadian goods. Trudeau emphasizes collaboration with provincial governments to address internal trade barriers and mitigate economic impact. He highlights Canada's strengthened border security measures and ongoing efforts to address concerns regarding fentanyl and illegal migration.
Canada 's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks about U.S.- Canada relations as U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to level new tariffs on Canada , during a meeting of the Canada -U.S. relations council in Toronto on Jan. 31.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada ’s response to U.S.
Mr. Trump’s comments on Thursday that the tariffs were coming, and that he had yet to decide whether Canadian oil would be covered, appeared at odds with statements from his own nominee for commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, who suggested that immediate trade levies could be avoided by strengthening border measures.
He said the federal government has responded to the concerns Mr. Trump raised when he first threatened the tariffs: the movement of the drug fentanyl and illegal migrants across the border from Canada into the U.S. — pointing to Ottawa’s $1.3-billion border plan, unveiled late last year. He said the first new border-patrol helicopters took flight earlier this week, and new dog teams and imaging technology was being deployed to stop the flow of drugs.
And heightened security for visa applications, he said, has resulted in an 89-per-cent drop in illegal crossings by foreign citizens into the U.S. over the second half of last year.
