Canada’s minister of energy and natural resources, Jonathan Wilkinson, has pushed back against U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s recent claim that America doesn’t need anything from its northern neighbour as “simply false.”
Canada is prepared to take strong retaliatory measures if the U.S. imposes tariffs, including an export tax on Canadian energy or targeted levies on American goods.
Wilkinson, who is speculated to be a contender to succeed Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister, highlighted Canada’s critical role as a supplier of resources the U.S. lacks feasible alternatives for, including oil, uranium, potash and critical minerals.
