Trudeau in mood to 'Tit For Tat' with Donald Trump, Canada is planning to impose tariffs on American goods

  Toronto: (US Canada conflict) The Trudeau government has moved to act after newly elected US President Donald Trump threatened Canada with tariffs. A Canadian official said that Canada is planning possible retaliatory tariffs on some goods coming from the US if Donald Trump follows through on his threat to impose heavy tariffs on Canadian products.

It is worth noting that Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products coming from Canada and Mexico if the countries of Canada and Mexico do not stop the flow of drugs and migrants at the southern and northern borders. He said that he will impose a 25 percent tax on all products entering the US from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders.

Talk about illegal immigration from Mexico!

However, Trump posted on the media platform Truth Social on Wednesday evening that he had a conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, and she has agreed to stop illegal immigration from Mexico.

Trump posted, 'Mexico will stop people from going to our southern border, effective immediately. This will go a long way to stopping America's illegal invasion. It is not yet clear what impact this conversation will have on Trump's plan to impose tariffs.

Canada ready for any situation

On the other hand, a Canadian government official said that Canada is preparing to deal with any situation and has started thinking about which goods to impose tariffs on in return. The official gave this information on the condition of anonymity. It is worth noting that when Trump imposed high tariffs during his first term, other countries retaliated by imposing their own tariffs.
