Legault warns Trump's proposed tariffs could threaten Quebec and Canadian economies

Quebec Premier François Legault warned that President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25 percent tariff on imports would significantly threaten the Quebec and Canadian economies. Legault's comments followed Trump's announcement of the tariffs aimed at Canada and Mexico. Legault emphasized the need for federal action to protect Quebec's exports and offered cooperation to Prime Minister Trudeau. He also expressed concerns about managing migrant inflows at the Canadian border. Ontario Premier Doug Ford supported Legault's stance, stating that such tariffs would harm jobs in both Canada and the U.S. Canadian premiers have requested an urgent meeting with Trudeau to address border security and trade issues before Trump takes office.
