Trudeau says Canada will respond to US tariffs as Ontario's premier says Trump 'declared war'
Canada’s outgoing prime minister and the leader of the country’s oil rich province of Alberta are confident Canada can avoid the 25% tariffs President Donald Trump says he will impose on Canada and Mexico on Feb. 1 by arguing that Canada is the energy super power that has the oil and critical minerals that America needs to feed what Trump vows will be a booming U.S. economy. But the leader of Ontario says said a trade war is 100% coming and is threatening immediate retaliation. Trump pledged in his inaugural address that tariffs would be coming and later said Canada and Mexico could be hit with the tariffs as soon as Feb. 1.
