The Prime Minister of Canada announced today the start of a trade war with the United States, saying that Ottawa is imposing retaliatory 25% duties on goods from The United States.
"Today, the United States, our closest ally and friend, has declared a trade war against Canada," Trudeau said, quoted by the telegram channel "Look."
According to Trudeau, Canada imposes 25% duties on American goods worth $ 155 billion. The effect of Canadian duties against American goods will continue until Washington cancels its own.
The Prime Minister of Canada noted that the trade war will harm American citizens and American families.
"Donald, you are a smart man, but this is a very stupid move," Trudeau scolded US President Donald Trump.
"Canadians, it will be hard, we will use all the tools to survive this storm," he comforted the citizens of his country.
The United States will immediately increase duties for Canada if it retaliates, Donald Trump said meanwhile.
"Please explain to the Governor of Canada Trudeau that when he introduces a retaliatory tariff against the United States, our retaliatory tariff will immediately increase by the same amount!" the US president wrote on his account in the social network T ruth Social.
