Despite Canada’s efforts to strengthen border security and engage in diplomatic discussions, Trump stated last Thursday that he would move forward with tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday.
In an interview, Trump mentioned that he had not observed sufficient progress from Canada and Mexico. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that Ottawa will respond immediately with retaliatory tariffs if these measures are enacted.
