U.S. President Donald Trump’s looming tariffs on all Canadian imports are set to be imposed today. The Canadian federal government has said every option remains on the table, as a potential response to the punishing tariffs. Follow along for live updates

CTV News’ chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos says Canada was notified this morning by the U.S. that China, Mexico and Canada will be subject to tariffs: 25 per cent across the board with the exception of energy, which will be 10 per cent.

It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a Canadian response at 6 p.m. ET tonight.

A senior government source tells CTV News that Ottawa is expecting something formal at 2 p.m. EST. Cabinet is set to meet at 3 p.m. EST.

    Trump just killed the N. American auto industry. You can’t remake all the supply chain lines overnight. Some parts cross the border multiple times, meaning way more than a 25% tariff in the end. Asian car companies are going to take over.

      Agreed. I’m an import buyer in the auto industry. There’s no one in the us that makes some of these parts. He just made China more attractive now. It will take at least 6 months to retool and go thru sampling process.

      Liberal racist fearmongering while complaining about Trump’s racist fearmongering.

      You can’t make this shit up, folks.

        i took it more of a ‘destruction on the us economy’ type comment without racist undertones.
