Canadians need to remain calm in the face of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all imports from Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in Halifax on Monday.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attends a fireside chat with the Halifax Chamber of Commerce in Halifax on Monday, December 9, 2024. Canadians need to remain calm in the face of U.S.
Trump has said he will impose the 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods if Canada does not tighten border security to combat fentanyl smuggling and illegal migration. "We know a few things about Donald Trump," Trudeau said in Halifax. "We know that when he says these things, he means them." "They're coming in with a lot clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than they had last time, but we can do this. We can do this because when crises happen, when we are challenged as a country, we step up."
"Americans import 65 per cent of their crude oil from Canada, significant amounts of electricity," Trudeau said. When the United States slapped import tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum in 2018, Canada retaliated by imposing $16.6 billion in tariffs on U.S. products, including ketchup, ballpoint pens, licorice, orange juice, whisky and toilet paper.
