Canadian PM Trudeau’s Stirring Reaction to Trump’s Tariffs on Canada

Following US President Donald Trump’s executive order imposing 25% tariffs on nearly all imports from Canada, outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a stern response, reminding Americans of Canada’s unwavering support during their “darkest hours.”

Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs on $106 billion of American goods, warning of significant consequences for both nations.

At a press conference in Ottawa, Trudeau directly addressed Americans, highlighting Canada’s longstanding partnership with the US. “From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours,” he said.

Trudeau emphasized the strength of the US-Canada relationship, calling it the “most successful economic, military, and security partnership the world has ever seen.” He urged the US to partner with Canada rather than impose punitive measures, stating, “If President Trump wants to usher in a new golden age for the United States, the better path is to partner with Canada, not to punish us.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that Canada will impose 25% tariffs against C$155 billion of US goods.

Canada’s Retaliatory Tariffs

Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $106 billion worth of American goods in response to the US tariffs. The first round of tariffs, targeting $30 billion worth of US goods, will take effect immediately, followed by additional tariffs on $125 billion products within three weeks.

Trudeau warned that the US tariffs would harm Canadian and American workers, potentially shutting down auto assembly plants and other manufacturing facilities. He also highlighted the impact on everyday consumers, stating that tariffs would increase costs for groceries, gas, and other essential items.

The Canadian tariffs will target a wide range of products, including beer, wine, bourbon, fruits, vegetables, consumer appliances, lumber, and plastics, potentially adding more items to the list.

Economic Impact on Both Nations

The US-Canada border, spanning 9,000 kilometres, facilitates over $2.5 billion in daily trade, particularly in energy and manufacturing. In 2023, Canada exported nearly $550 billion worth of goods and services to the US, accounting for over 75% of its total exports. Energy and manufacturing contributed 30% and 15%, respectively, to these exports.

Exports to the US represent roughly 17.8% of Canada’s GDP and support more than 2.4 million Canadian jobs. Trudeau warned that the trade conflict would have “real consequences” for both nations, with American workers and consumers bearing the brunt of the fallout.

President Trump defended the tariffs, citing threats from illegal immigration and drug trafficking. While most Canadian exports to the US will be subject to a 25% tariff, energy resources will be subject to a lower 10% levy.

Trudeau concluded his address by reiterating Canada’s commitment to standing up for its citizens and jobs. “We’re certainly not looking to escalate. But we will stand up for Canada, for Canadians, for Canadian jobs,” he said.
