Canada considers tariffs on U.S. goods in response to Trump's trade threats

Canada is considering retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods in response to President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian products. A senior official stated that no decisions have been made yet, but discussions are ongoing. Trump's proposed tariffs are part of his plan to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Canadian officials argue that linking Canada with Mexico in this context is unfair, as the numbers of illegal crossings are significantly lower at the Canadian border. Canada is a major trading partner for the U.S., with nearly $3.6 billion in goods and services crossing the border daily. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to meet with provincial leaders to discuss potential trade negotiations with the U.S.
