Trudeau warns that Trump’s tariff threats should be taken seriously
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that incoming U.S. president Donald Trump's tariff threats should be taken seriously. Trump recently suggested a 25% import tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico due to border enforcement issues. Trudeau emphasized that Trump is likely to follow through on his statements. He noted that Canada can approach negotiations similarly to how it did during Trump's first term. Trudeau held a meeting with provincial leaders to discuss the potential impact of the new U.S. administration's trade policies and concerns regarding the Canadian border.
