- Trudeau vowed that his government would take decisive action and respond to all scenarios if Trump goes ahead with the tariff imposition.
Amid simmering trade face-off, the Canadian government has said it would not fold it arms and watch helplessly as U.S. President, Donald Trump, imposes tariffs on the country.
Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, made this known in a statement on Tuesday.
Trudeau vowed that his government would take decisive action and respond to all scenarios if Trump goes ahead with the tariff imposition.
When asked about an uncertain timeline on possible tariffs, Trudeau said Trump is a skilled negotiator who likes to keep his negotiating partners a bit off-balance.
Trump is expected to sign more executive orders on his second day in office.
Recall that on Monday he disclosed that across-the-board tariffs on Mexican and Canadian exports to the United States could take effect beginning in February.
“Donald Trump’s approach does bring in uncertainty. As regards next formal interactions, stay tuned,” he said.
According to him, Trump’s promised prosperity for America will require Canadian resources to fuel it.
“Canada provides many of the necessary inputs the American economy is going to need in order to grow and boom,” he added
