Trudeau calls emergency meeting as Trump proposes 25% tariff on Canadian goods

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called an emergency meeting in response to Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariff on Canadian goods. This tariff could significantly affect Canada's $420 billion export economy, as the U.S. is its largest trading partner. Trudeau is facing pressure to retaliate against Trump's claims linking Canada to migration and drug trafficking. Economists have warned that the tariffs could lead Canada into a recession. The situation marks a shift in U.S.-Canada trade relations, with heightened tensions following Trump's announcement. Trudeau's government is now exploring diplomatic options to address the potential economic impact.
