Canada Threatens Tariff? Prime Minister Trudeau Seen At Mar-A-Lago

President Donald Trump declared he would slap a 25% tariff on Canadian imports in 2025.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau then said he’s ready to retaliate with U.S. tariffs of his own.

He’s essentially saying “Tariff me? Oh, yeah. ‘ll tariff you!”

But is it all talk?

Trudeau says Trump’s tariff might harm both Canadians and Americans.

Then we see him down at Mar-A-Lago.

Did he get summoned to the principle’s office?

Because now he’s stating he believe Canada and Trump can work this out.

Washington Examiner reports:

Canada is seriously considering imposing its own tax on the United States if the incoming Trump administration slaps tariffs on exports from north of the border.

The northern neighbor is weighing retaliatory action against the U.S. should President-elect Donald Trump follow through with his campaign promise to impose a significant tax on foreign goods entering the country. A senior official told the Associated Press that Canada could impose tariffs on certain items from the U.S.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau walked the line in a press conference Friday, telling reporters that he was determined to work with Trump.

“It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out, there’s no question about it,” Trudeau said to reporters on Prince Edward Island “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for American citizens as well and hurting American industry and business.”

Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on imported goods entering the country from Canada and Mexico, starting on Day One of his second administration, Jan. 20, 2025.

Two-thirds of U.S. states export more goods to Canada than any other country, and retribution from the northern neighbor could create new economic problems.

“We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” Trudeau said Friday. “But ultimately, it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.”

Here’s Trump’s post that called out Canada.

I will be imposing massive tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada if they continue to send massive amounts of fentanyl and illegal aliens to our country. These countries must also buy American products and will do so when I pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act! pic.twitter.com/EM7qGw29JQ
