Canada vows retaliation if Trump imposes tariffs

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that if US President Donald Trump chooses to implement any tariff affecting Canada, the country will be ready to respond similarly. In a Council on Canada-US Relations meeting, the prime minister stressed that any Canadian response would be “purposeful, forceful, and immediate,” indicating that all options are considered. He highlighted that such US tariffs could increase costs for American consumers, particularly in sectors like oil, automotive, and agriculture.
