Trudeau Criticizes US Tariffs as 'Very Dumb'

The leader of the Canadian government, Justin Trudeau, called the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on goods from Canada, "extremely foolish." Trudeau expressed this comment during an interview...

Trudeau stated: "I think Canadians understand that the consequences of the tariffs that Trump introduces affect Americans, not just Canadians." According to him, the increase in tariffs on imported steel and aluminum may also harm the relationship between the two countries.

President Trump announced the imposition of tariffs on aluminum and steel from Canada, calling this decision a "protection of jobs in the sector." In turn, Trudeau stated that the introduction of tariffs harms both the North American economy as a whole and jobs in the U.S., analogously.
