I like the shitskin deportations, but Trump will fuck up the economy bad with these tariffs
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory 25% tariffs on US goods, hours after US President Donald Trump’s announcement of steep tariffs on most Canadian goods.
“Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the US trade action with 25% trade tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods,” the Canadian leader said in a news conference Saturday night.
Trudeau said “tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods” will take effect Tuesday, followed by broader tariffs in 21 days “to allow Canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives.”
Trudeau added that the tariffs will “be far-reaching and include everyday items,” such as alcohol, fruits, vegetables, clothes and shoes.
As part of the Canadian response to US tariffs, Trudeau also said states and territories are considering “several non-tariff measures.” They could include restrictions “relating to critical minerals, energy procurement and other partnerships.”
“We will stand strong for Canada. We will stand strong to ensure our countries continue to be the best neighbors in the world,” Trudeau said.
