Ottawa:
After U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a presidential order that imposes 25 % of tariffs, almost all imported from Canada, his country is on their side in the “darkest time”. I remembered Americans -fatal natural disasters such as Iranian hostage crisis and war in Afghanistan, or Hurricane Catrina and the recent California.
Tordeau, who talked directly to Americans from a press conference in Otawa, had no choice but to take measures.
“From the Normandy beach to the mountain of the Korean Peninsula, from the Flanders field to the city of Kandahar, we have died with you at your darkest time,” said Toldeau. “We have built a partnership in the world’s most successful economy, military, and security … we are always standing with you.”
Focusing on the difference between the United States and Canada, Torudeau said that the two countries had always found a way to overcome them.
“As I said earlier, President Trump wants to inform us of the US new golden age, but it is better to partner with Canada instead of punishing us,” he said.
“Unfortunately, the actions that the White House did today divides us, but we separate us,” said Torudo.
Canada hits
“Canada is responsible for US trade measures and supports 25 % of tariffs on $ 155 billion ($ 106 billion),” he said, a fracture in relation to many years of Canadian US. He warned about it in a dramatic tone.
The first round tariff targets US products worth $ 30 billion on Tuesday. Then, in three weeks, a product worth 125 billion dollars will be added to the $ 125 billion.
“We are certainly not trying to escalate, but we are standing up for the work of Canada, Canadians, and Canadians,” said Toldo.
He stated that trade disputes would not only have “real results” for Americans, not only Canadians, but also to suffer from the president’s actions.
“The tariffs on Canada can expose your job at risk and close American car assembly plants and other manufacturing facilities,” said Canadian citizens.
“They will raise costs for you, such as food and gas in pumps at grocery stores,” he added.
Customs duties apply to “daily items” such as American beer, wine, bourbon, fruits, vegetables, consumer equipment, wood and plastic.
Trump tax
U.S. President Donald Trump had previously published a wide range of tariffs in Canada, Mexico, and China, and quoted threats from illegal immigrants and drugs.
Canada exports to Canada face 25 % of tariffs from Tuesday, but energy resources from Canada will collect 10 %.
According to data by the Canadian government in 2023, the US border of 9,000 km (5,600 miles) is especially in energy and more than $ 2.5 billion a day.
In 2023, Canada exported to the United States with more than three -quarters of a $ 550 billion product, or more than three -quarters of the total export. Energy accounted for 30 %, and the manufacturing has contributed about 15 % to exports south of the border.
Exports to the United States account for more than 2.4 million employment in Canada, about 17.8 % of Canada’s gross domestic product.
