OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will press Canada's case against damaging tariffs with the new U.S.
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will press Canada's case against damaging tariffs with the new U.S. secretary of state in Washington next week, after Trump repeated a demand Thursday for allies to vastly increase their military spending.
"He understands that not only this will have an impact on Americans, but this will have an impact on how the U.S. engages in the world, and that will have an impact geopolitically," she said in reference to the tariff threat. She called for unity on Canada's trade strategy. The premiers of Alberta, Quebec and Saskatchewan have pushed back on Ottawa for floating the idea of imposing dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and cutting off energy exports."We can all work together to make sure that, ultimately, we face together this existential threat against our economy."
"Canada has been very tough to deal with over the years, and it's not fair," he said, adding that the U.S. doesn't need Canadian commodities.
