Trudeau says Canada will respond if tariffs are imposed

Trudeau will remain Prime Minister until a new Liberal leader is chosen in March, so he will be the one dealing with tariffs if they’re imposed on Feb 1.

• Our government has already acted to address Trump’s concerns about the border
• Golden age of US will require Canadian resources
• Trump is a skilled negotiator who will do what he can to keep negotiating partners off balance
• Says he supports the idea of dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs
• Our focus is on avoiding tariffs
• We will stay steady on defending the economic relationship between the US and Canada

Trudeau doesn’t sound overly worried.
