US Canada conflict The Trudeau government has come into action after the US President-elect Donald Trump threatened Canada with tariffs. A Canadian official said that if Donald Trump implements his threat to impose extensive tariffs on Canadian products, then Canada is planning possible retaliatory tariffs on some goods coming from the US.

 

Trump had threatened

Let us tell you that Trump has threatened that if Canada and Mexico do not stop the flow of drugs and migrants on the southern and northern borders, then he will impose tariffs on products coming from Canada and Mexico. He said that as one of his first executive orders, he will impose a 25 percent tax on all products entering the US from Canada and Mexico.

 

Talk on illegal immigration from Mexico!

However, Trump posted on media platform Truth Social on Wednesday evening, saying he had a great conversation with new Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and that they agreed to stop illegal migration from Mexico.

 

"This will stop Mexico from crossing our Southern Border, effective immediately. This will go a long way toward stopping illegal invasion of the United States. Thank you," Trump posted. 

 

It is still not clear what impact this conversation will have on Trump's plan to impose tariffs. 

 

Canada is ready for any situation

On the other hand, a government official in Canada said that Canada is preparing for every situation and has started thinking about which goods to impose tariffs on in retaliation. The official said this on the condition of anonymity. Let us tell you that when Trump imposed high tariffs during his first term, other countries responded with their own retaliatory tariffs.
