Canada will respond to Trump’s tariffs in a robust manner: Trudeau

Following a Cabinet retreat at a resort in Quebec, Trudeau said, “Everything is on the table, and I support the principle of dollar-for-dollar matching tariffs.”

This was his reaction to Trump’s statement in the Oval Office on Monday that tariffs on Canada could be coming on February 1. “We are prepared for every possible scenario,” Trudeau added.

At a press conference in Montebello, Quebec, Trudeau stressed the focus was on avoiding tariffs. But, he said, “If they do move forward with tariffs, our response will be robust and rapid and measures but very strong.”
