Trudeau Condemns Trump for Initiating Trade War with Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has strongly criticized President Trump for initiating a trade war with Canada. Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill, Trudeau accused the United States of targeting its closest ally, Canada, while working positively with Russia to appease a militarized and authoritarian Putin. He emphasized that Canada will not yield to U.S. trade pressures.

Trudeau asserted that Canadians are intelligent and humble but determined not to back down. He confirmed that Canada’s tariffs on U.S. goods will remain in place until the United States withdraws its own tariffs. He also described the decision to start the trade war as misguided and counterproductive.
