WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump suggested his administration could move ahead with with 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on Canadian imports on Feb. 1.
He delivered the deadline on Monday evening at the White House as he signed a stack of unrelated executive orders.
“We’re calling on every single political leader across the board, across the country, to stand united because now more than ever, we need to make sure that we put country first," Joly said at a cabinet retreat in Montebello, Que. "Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens," he said during his inaugural address.
Trump has insisted for weeks that Washington is subsidizing Canada at an annual rate of $100 billion, a claim McKay called"just nonsense." Smith, who recently travelled to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to meet with the president-elect, broke from the pack by refusing to consider any plan that would include possible levies on oil exports or cutting off energy supplies to the U.S.
