Canadians are 'perplexed' by Trump's tariffs, ambassador to the US says

Summary

Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman expressed disappointment over Donald Trump’s newly imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, calling them disruptive to a strong trade relationship.

The tariffs, set to take effect Tuesday, are aimed at pressuring cooperation on immigration and drug control. Canada plans retaliatory tariffs on $107 billion in U.S. goods.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not spoken with Trump since his inauguration. Hillman stressed Canada’s desire for continued partnership but warned of strong public demand for a firm response.
