Jagmeet Singh calls on Trudeau to address Trump’s tariff threats against Canada

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to respond firmly to US President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico. Singh's call for action followed Trump’s announcement on social media, where he stated that tariffs would remain until Canada and Mexico took stronger measures against illegal migration and drug trafficking. Trump also indicated plans for a 10 percent tariff on Chinese products, citing issues with fentanyl smuggling. Tariffs are a key part of Trump’s economic strategy, aimed at protecting US jobs and industries.
