President Donald Trump publicly stated that he was placing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “on notice” after the U.S. implemented new tariffs on Canadian imports.

This action includes a twenty-five percent tariff on select items, as well as a ten percent tax on Canadian energy products such as oil, natural gas, and electricity.

Trudeau called the new U.S. tariffs “very dumb” and responded by announcing his own reciprocal tariffs.

Canada’s response comprises a twenty-five percent duty on thirty billion dollars’ worth of U.S. goods, with plans to extend this by one hundred twenty-five billion dollars within three weeks.

The Canadian prime minister noted that these measures would remain in effect until the U.S. tariffs are lifted.

Trump replied that Canada’s attempts to counteract the U.S. duties would trigger an immediate reciprocal action.

Trudeau described the situation as a direct threat to his nation’s economy, expressing worries about broader North American trade and regional alliances.

Mexican officials also confirmed a distinct plan to impose tariffs on certain U.S. goods.

Analysts observing the dispute have remarked on the potential effects on bilateral and trilateral trade, impacting a variety of industries throughout North America.

Trudeau mentioned that discussions with the White House might occur to address the rising tariff issues, although no specific timeline was given.
