Many U.S. lawmakers are unaware of the risk Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs pose to Canada, to the American economy and to two-way trade, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says after a visit to Washington aimed at stopping a trade war.“A lot of senators are very surprised by the numbers we’re giving them. A lot of senators have never heard about this Trump tariff tax,” Ms. Joly told reporters Friday.
Starting Tuesday, the United States will impose across-the-board tariffs of 25 per cent on Canadian goods and 10-per-cent tariffs on “energy resources.” The 25 per cent levy will also be placed on goods from Mexico, while Chinese goods will face an additional 10 per cent tariff. The Canadian government immediately announced retaliatory tariffs on many American products.Here is how Canadian premiers reacted on Saturday.
