TRUDEAU SAYS CANADA IS READY TO RESPOND TO POSSIBLE TRUMP TARIFFS – Trudeau believes Trump’s promised prosperity for USA requires Canadian resources
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated that his government is ready to respond to all scenarios if U.S. President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canada.
Asked about an uncertain timeline for possible tariffs, Trudeau said Trump is a skilled negotiator who likes to keep his negotiating partners a bit off-balance.
On Monday President Trump suggested across-the-board tariffs on Mexican and Canadian exports to the United States could take effect beginning in February.
Trudeau said Trump’s promised prosperity for America will require Canadian resources to fuel it.
