Summary

Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman expressed disappointment over Donald Trump’s newly imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, calling them disruptive to a strong trade relationship.

The tariffs, set to take effect Tuesday, are aimed at pressuring cooperation on immigration and drug control. Canada plans retaliatory tariffs on $107 billion in U.S. goods.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not spoken with Trump since his inauguration. Hillman stressed Canada’s desire for continued partnership but warned of strong public demand for a firm response.

    Right, and your solution to this is to scream and yell and curse around to everyone exactly like that oversized orange colored baby who got elected?

    You do understand this affects you in every way possible too even if you are not an American, especially with Russian forces literally right on the door front of the Western Europe, don’t you?

      No, the telling you guys off on the internet just makes me feel better. I’ve been volunteering at a local level for years, supporting local strikes, and currently I’m helping distribute lists of products that are made in Canada to combat this trade war at grocery stores. But I’m furious at Americans for allowing this to happen.
