Trudeau calls Trump's tariffs 'very dumb thing to do' as Canada retaliates

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted to US President Donald Trump's decision Tuesday to implement tariffs on Canada, saying that it is "a very dumb thing to do."

"Canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight," Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa, emphasizing that "Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, starting with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately, and tariffs on the remaining $125 billion of American products in 21 days."
