FNF&Guest&DOCS- Canada must not ‘All Customer- freak out’ over Trump’s tariff threat – Trudeau

Canadians must remain calm in the face of potential “devastating” tariffs on all imports from Canada promised by US President-elect Donald Trump, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said. He has also threatened Washington with a response to any unfair tariffs.

Trump threatened Ottawa with 25% tariffs on Canadian goods if it does not tighten border security to combat drug smuggling and illegal migration. The president-elect made the same threat to Mexico.

“One of the most important things for us to do is not to freak out, not to panic,” Trudeau said at an event at the Halifax Chamber of Commerce on Monday.
