Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is unwilling to lift Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on the US unless President Donald Trump removes all US tariffs on Canada. Trudeau’s stance comes after Trump imposed new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, drawing immediate retaliation.
Canadian officials, including Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, have echoed Trudeau’s position, with Ford stating that Canada wants zero tariffs or nothing. The dispute has sparked concerns about the impact on the auto industry, with Ford warning that assembly lines in the US and Ontario could shut down within 10 days if the tariffs are not removed.
