Canada Weighs Retaliation Against Trump’s Trade Threats
Facing a potential 25% US tariff threat on all Canadian imports, Canadian premiers are collaboratively developing retaliatory measures. These measures, suggested by Premier Doug Ford, could include cutting off energy exports to US states like Michigan, New York, and Wisconsin. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland confirmed provincial support for a strong response, noting suggestions also included restricting exports of critical minerals and metals. While the US government’s own data shows significantly fewer migrants and fentanyl entering from Canada than Mexico, Canada is still preparing enhanced border security measures.
