Canadian premiers meet with Trudeau to address Trump's tariff threats

Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods unless Canada and Mexico take action to reduce illegal immigration and drug trafficking. This has prompted Canadian premiers to plan a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. British Columbia Premier David Eby emphasized the need for strong negotiations, noting that Canada imports more from the U.S. than several major countries combined. He acknowledged the need for improvements at the border to address concerns about contraband. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce warned that the tariffs could severely impact the province's economy, particularly in the forestry sector. Trudeau has reached out to provincial leaders to discuss a united response to the situation.
