  • Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says incoming U.S. president Donald Trump's threats on tariffs should be taken seriously.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed concern over former U.S. President Donald Trump's potential return to office and his serious threat of imposing tariffs on Canadian goods. Speaking at a Liberal party event in Montreal, Trudeau highlighted the detrimental impact of Trump's previous tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, which led to significant job losses and economic strain. He emphasized that Trump's threats are not just rhetoric but a real possibility, given his past actions. Trudeau also mentioned the importance of preparing for such scenarios, noting that while Canada managed to negotiate an end to the tariffs in 2018, the threat of similar actions remains a significant concern for Canadian industries and the broader economy.
