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 Canada is preparing for various scenarios, but no decisions have been made yet. Trump's proposed tariffs are part of his plan to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Canadian officials argue that linking Canada with Mexico is unfair, as the number of arrests at the Canadian border is significantly lower. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is meeting with provincial leaders to discuss a potential trade deal with the U.S. that excludes Mexico. Meanwhile, Mexico is also preparing its own list of possible retaliatory tariffs.
