Trudeau has appeared on multiple U.S. news networks to warn Canada’s neighbors that their pocketbooks are at risk of becoming collateral damage in Trump’s trade war. “Anything an American president does to hurt the Canadian economy will also hurt American consumers and American workers and American growth,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper last week.

Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the formation of a Canada-U.S. relations council to support the federal government as it deals with incoming U.S.

Canada is prepared to retaliate if President-elect Donald Trump imposes tariffs on the country. Canada’s Foreign Minister, Mélanie Joly, says if Trump does this, “he’s starting a trade war.”
