"Canada to Retaliate Against US Tariffs, Trade Minister Warns"
Canada's Trade Minister Mary Ng has condemned President Donald Trump's proposal for tariffs on goods imported from Canada, stating that these measures will only lead to increased costs for American consumers. Ng reiterated Canada's vow to retaliate if the US imposes such tariffs, emphasizing that the country does not want to initiate a trade war.
Trump has threatened to impose tariffs that could significantly impact trade between the US and Canada, including a 25% tariff on autos, pharmaceutical products, and chips. Ng has held discussions with European Union trade officials and led a trade delegation to Australia in an attempt to strengthen economic ties with other countries.
