Canada warns on US economic ties
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized the danger of reducing economic ties with the United States, stating that there is a price to be paid despite the long-term benefits. This comes as Canadian tariffs worth $27.6 billion on US imports, including steel, aluminum, and dairy products, took effect. These measures are a response to the US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on Canadian goods of similar value, which Washington claimed were discriminatory, leading to an escalation in the trade war between the two countries. Trudeau affirmed that these actions are necessary to protect Canadian interests and pointed out that the tensions could particularly impact Canada's manufacturing sector in central Canada, despite widespread public support for this move.
