The U.S. president-elect said the tariff will remain in place until Canada and Mexico countries stop drugs, in particular fentanyl, and people from illegally crossing the borders.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump says he will sign an executive order imposing a 25-per-cent tariff on all products coming in to the United States from Canada and Mexico.
Trump said the tariff will remain in place until both countries stop drugs, in particular fentanyl, and people from illegally crossing the borders. He said until those issues are solved Canada and Mexico will "pay a very big price!" NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh sent a more stark message to the prime minister. He posted on social media that Trudeau cannot keep his "head in the sand."Trump campaigned on the promise to slap an across-the-board tariff on all imports.
More than 77 per cent of Canadian exports go to the U.S. and trade comprises 60 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product.
