Trump has a response for Trudeau…
President Trump has responded to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after his favorite “Governor of the 51st State” reacted to the Trump tariffs going into effect.
“So today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they are talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense,” Trudeau told reporters.
“Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight, not when our country and the wellbeing of everyone in it is at stake,” he continued.
“I want to speak directly to one specific American, Donald. In the over eight years you and I have worked together, we’ve done big things,” Trudeau also said. “And now we should be working together to ensure even greater prosperity for North Americans in a very uncertain and challenging world. Now, it’s not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal. But Donald, they point out that even though you’re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We — two friends fighting — is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see.”
Trudeau announced 25% retaliatory tariffs on American goods in response to Trump’s tariffs.
Trump hit TRUTH Social to reply to Trudeau, saying “Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!”
