Trudeau says Canada will retaliate to US tariffs
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that Canada has struck back on US tariffs with CAN$155 billion (US$106 billion) in tariffs on American products entering Canada.
“Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the US trade actions, with 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods,” Trudeau said at a news conference, following an hours-long meeting with Canada’s provincial premiers.
Trudeau said $30 billion on American goods will take effect Tuesday, the same day as US tariffs. Another $125 billion in goods will have tariffs enacted in a few days.
