Canada's Trudeau announces counter tariffs

Source: Reuters

OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday Canada would impose 25% tariffs on C$155 billion ($106.5 billion) of U.S. goods in response to U.S. tariffs.

C$30 billion would take effect from Tuesday and C$125 billion in 21 days, Trudeau told a news conference.

Trump earlier signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico starting on Tuesday except Canadian energy products, which will be subject to a 10% duty.

Trudeau warned the tariffs would hurt the United States, a long-time ally. He encouraged Canadians to buy Canadian products and vacation at home rather than in the U.S.

Maine for sure would be better off joining Canada.

Justice matters.

All Tesla products from everywhere around the world into Canada to suffer a 100% tariff imposed at the point of entry.

Mexico should do the same, as well as Denmark.

...to form direct trade connections. Invite the world press and Central, South American countries. Announce they are bypassing the USA and it's idiot President. Further, the response is not tariffs, but rather total closure of all US products. That the US can buy their products with taxes, but they will not buy US products and instead trade among themselves.
