Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suggested there is no immediate resolution to the trade war with the United States. During an announcement on a child care program in Ottawa today, Trudeau responded to reporters’ questions, stating that his government is focused on minimizing the impact of tariffs. He added that Canada will remain steadfast against the trade war initiated by the US as long as it continues.

The Prime Minister also spoke about his conversation with President Trump yesterday. He emphasized that tariffs would harm both American workers and businesses, urging the US to collaborate on resolving the issue.

According to sources, Trump proposed that if Canada withdraws its retaliatory tariffs, the US would consider reducing its own tariffs in return. However, Prime Minister Trudeau insisted that the US must first withdraw all its tariffs.
