NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has strongly criticized President Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on Canadian steel. He warned that if Trump attacks Canadian steelworkers, the consequences would be severe. Singh emphasized that an NDP government would take immediate action, imposing dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs while ensuring support for every worker affected by these tariffs.

Singh also called for unity in the country during this critical time. He made it clear that the Canadian government must stand firm in the face of such threats. Along with this, he took aim at Elon Musk, one of Trump’s top advisors, warning that Musk would not escape the consequences of attacking Canadian workers.

Furthermore, Singh outlined specific measures that an NDP government would take if elected. He stated that the supply of critical minerals essential for Tesla production would be stopped, and a 100 percent tariff would be imposed on Tesla cars. Singh concluded that any action targeting Canadian workers would not be tolerated and vowed to fight back with strong, decisive policies.
