KABUL: Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, stated Tuesday night that U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing a “foolish” trade war aimed at destroying the Canadian economy.
He criticized Trump’s actions as misguided and unjustified, asserting that Canada and its people will not surrender to the U.S. president’s policies.
He noted that the imposition of a 25% tariff has led to increased unemployment and inflation, which will negatively impact Canada’s economy.
However, he emphasized that the people of Canada are willing to pay any price to defend themselves and their country.
At the same time, Trudeau announced plans to implement similar 25% tariffs on billions of dollars worth of goods imported from the United States.
His strong statements came in response to Trump’s announcement of the 25% tariff on Canadian imports.
