Washington:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ready to fight against the United States tariff on Canada’s imports. Trudeau stated “trade war” and said that it would “harm the first and most American families.” Along with this, Trudeau emphasized that the people of Canada are right and humble, but will not back down from the fight, especially when the good of the country is at stake.
Speaking from Parliament Hill on Tuesday, Trudeau criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision, saying that Tariff “is a very stupid thing.” He also questioned the argument of working with Vladimir Putin.
25% tariff on American goods
Trudeau said, “Today the United States has launched a trade war against Canada. It is its closest partner and colleague, his closest friend.”
In response to the US tariff, Canada will implement 25% tariff on US goods worth $ 155 billion, which will start immediately on goods worth $ 30 billion. Tariffs on the remaining $ 125 billion worth of goods will be applicable in 21 days. Trudeau also announced a plan to challenge the “illegal works” or tariffs of the US in the World Trade Organization, citing a violation of the free trade agreement between the two countries.
Also request Trump to reconsider
Trudeau, while addressing the American public, warned that tariffs would increase inflation and damage American jobs, especially in workplaces that depend on materials or consumers from Canada. He urged Trump to reconsider that the two countries should work together to ensure “prosperity of the people of North America”.
Trudeau said, “They have opted to thwart their agenda.” Also said, “There is no justification or need for these tariffs today.”
Canada will not become 51st state: Trudeau
The Canadian government has also announced measures to support the people of Canada affected by the trade war, including increasing support for those who lose their jobs and helping to keep businesses running. Trudeau assured the people of Canada that the government would “constantly struggle” to protect the economy.
He addressed the Phentenele issue and stressed that Trump’s claim that Canada is not ready to fight it, “completely wrong”.
At the same time, Trudeau said that Trump wants to see Canada’s economy completely destroyed, which makes it easier to capture Canada. Trudeau reiterated that this would never happen and “Canada will never become a 51st state.”
