OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he believes president-elect Donald Trump's recent tariff threats against Canada and Mexico should be taken seriously.
"One of the things that is really important to understand is that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There's no question about it," Trudeau said when speaking with reporters in Queens County, P.E.I. on Friday. Trudeau said his government started assembling its outreach plan for the next U.S. administration at the start of the year, when the government began its"Team Canada" effort by pulling together premiers, business and labour leaders to network with officials and politicians across the U.S.
Trudeau said he plans to remind Trump repeatedly that such tariffs would hamper the president's own political goals as well.
