Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday night that his country will retaliate against the U.S. if President Donald Trump goes through with his plan for tariffs on Canadian goods, which are set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday.

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs after Donald Trump confirmed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and 10% on energy, set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

Trump justified the move by linking it to fentanyl smuggling concerns.

Trudeau called the tariffs “unjustified” and imposed 25% tariffs on $155 billion in U.S. goods, with $30 billion effective immediately and the rest in 21 days.

He warned of price hikes and job losses in the U.S., arguing the move violates Trump’s own trade agreement from his last term.

    Trump is such a vindictive moron. Whether he’s a Russian asset or just a certifiably stupid, the end result is the same.

    Good god I hate this fucking timeline. Fuck corporate America for backing this monster and fuck everyone who voted for him. Fuck the Democrats for collectively shrugging about all this too.
