The stock market has continued to plunge after Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and when the stock market crash did not force Trump to back off, Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau held a press conference and announced retailtory tariffs of 25% on the United States.
Trudeau spoke directly to the American people:
We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. And we don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you.
As of this morning, markets are down, and inflation is set to rise dramatically all across your country. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk at the thousands of workplaces that succeed because of materials from Canada, or because of consumers in Canada, or both. They've chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items like groceries and gas, on major purchases like cars and homes, and everything in between.
They've chosen to harm American national security. impeding access to the abundant critical minerals, energy, building materials, and fertilizers that we have and that the United States needs to grow and prosper. They've chosen to launch a trade war that will, first and foremost, harm American families.
They've chosen to sabotage their own agenda. that was supposed to usher in a new golden age for the United States. And they've chosen to undermine the incredible work we've done together to tackle the scourge that is fentanyl, a drug that must be wiped from the face of the earth. So on that point, let me be crystal clear.
There is absolutely no justification or need whatsoever for these tariffs today.
