Trudeau Calls Trump Call “Colorful,” Warns of Prolonged Trade War
President Trump has again temporarily suspended 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, granting a one-month reprieve. While this is positive for Canada, Prime Minister Trudeau described a “colourful” phone call with Trump, revealing ongoing trade tensions and uncertainty regarding a long-term resolution. Trudeau emphasized that negotiations continue, but a trade war initiated by the U.S. is expected to persist. Despite some optimism for short-term relief, the situation remains volatile, with the possibility of further tariff changes in April.
