WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian imports set to kick in Tuesday are"unjustified" and vowed that Canada will retaliate with counter-tariffs and other measures.
Trudeau is set to hold a press conference Tuesday morning along with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly and Public Safety Minister David McGuinty. "What they'll have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case you have no tariffs," Trump said Monday while speaking about the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said if the levies go into force, Ottawa will revive its previously announced plan for retaliatory tariffs. Immigration Minister Marc Miller said earlier Monday that the Trump administration was using uncertainty as a bargaining tool and he hoped logic would prevail.
New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul told CNN that the small volume of drugs that may be coming across the northern border does not"justify the cataclysmic impact that tariffs will have."
