President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China have world leaders and markets reacting sharply. Speaking from Parliament Hill last week, Prime Minister Trudeau says Canada will immediately begin implementing 25 per cent tariffs against 155 billion dollars’ worth of American Goods. Trudeau bluntly called Trump’s blanket tariffs “dumb”, and said Canadians “will not back down from a fight.” How will these tariffs impact Canadian industries and sectors? And how should Canadian officials approach negotiations and trade talks moving forward? To help us explore Canada’s next steps, former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. during the Obama and Trump administrations, David MacNaughton, joins the show today.
