Trudeau says Canada will target $155 billion of U.S. products with 25% tariffs of its own. $30 billion in goods will be affected as of Tuesday. The other $125 billion will come in 21 days to give Canadian companies time to prepare. In addition, some provinces are bringing in other measures, such as barring U.S.
companies from procurement contracts and removing U.S.-made wine and spirits from liquor store shelves. Trudeau spoke during a late Saturday news conference about a shared history and an economic partnership with the U.S., saying Canada does not want this conflict but will not shy away from it.
He said the coming days and weeks will be difficult, but he urged Canadians to buy Canadian products, vacation at home, and stand together. For NPR News, I'm Dan Karpenchuk in Toronto.
