Trudeau says 'everything is on the table' for response to Trump tariffs ▶️
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached for a sales pitch instead of revealing any of his cards in his first public reply to U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that Canadian imports could face heavy tariffs as early as next week.
Trudeau insisted Tuesday that if Trump wants to usher in what he's called a "golden age" for the United States, he'll need the energy, critical minerals and resources that Canada is ready to provide.
Finance minister says Trump's Feb. 1 tariff comments are 'nothing new'
Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc says Donald Trump's suggestion that he will impose sweeping tariffs on Canada on Feb. 1 is "nothing new," and insists Canada has plans ready for several possible scenarios.
LeBlanc and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly stepped out of a cabinet meeting in Montebello, Que. to deliver a statement to reassure Canadians after the newly installed U.S. president signed a stack of unrelated executive orders Monday evening.
