Canada says it will respond robustly if US imposes tariffs

Canada has declared its intention to respond "robustly" if the United States imposes new tariffs on Canadian exports, particularly in response to potential U.S. actions against Chinese imports. This statement comes in the wake of U.S. President Joe Biden's administration considering new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and other goods, which could inadvertently affect Canadian products. Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng emphasized that Canada would not hesitate to defend its interests, highlighting the integrated nature of the North American supply chain. The potential U.S. tariffs are part of a broader strategy to counteract China's trade practices, but Canada fears that these measures might disrupt its own trade relations with the U.S., its largest trading partner.
