The Trump Effect is in full swing, as the President-Elect is back making geopolitical waves with his ‘mean tweets’ – even if now they are posted primarily on his social platform, Truth Social.
One such wave crashed in Canada, where failed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his liberals are scrambling to react to news about tariffs imposed on their country.
Trudeau was reportedly quick to respond to Donald J. Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, and Chinese goods.
Daily Mail reported:
“The incoming president posted on his Truth Social platform Monday night that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexican and Canadian goods as long as the countries continue to allow immigrants to flow over the US border.
He also said he’d impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods over the Chinese government’s refusal to make good on a promise to use the death penalty on drug dealers.”
The tariff would kick in on the first day of his administration and would apply to ‘ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.’
“This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”
Mexico and Canada can easily solve this problem, Trump noted.
“Just two hours after Trump posted the threats, Trudeau called Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, and the two had a constructive conversation focused on trade and security at the border, an unidentified Canadian official with knowledge of the call told the New York Times.”
Canadian government statement:
“’Canada is essential to US domestic energy supply and last year 60 percent of US crude oil imports originated in Canada. We will of course continue to discuss these issues with the incoming administration.‘ read the statement issued by Trudeau, finance minister Chrystia Freeland and public safety minister Dominic LeBlanc.”
Ontario Premier Doug Ford:
A 25 per cent tariff would be devastating to workers and jobs in both Canada and the U.S.
