Premier David Eby of British Columbia warns of a 'devastating' impact on the province's economy due to the proposed 25-per-cent U.S. tariff policy on Canadian goods. Eby made these comments during a meeting with first ministers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address concerns over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's plans.
British Columbia Premier David Eby has expressed concern over a 25-per-cent U.S. tariff policy on Canadian goods, deeming it as devastating for the province's lumber and forestry industries. Eby addressed the issue during a virtual meeting with fellow first ministers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which aimed to tackle U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs unless Canada and Mexico address illegal border crossings and drug trafficking.
Eby emphasized that the lumber and forestry sectors are already under strain due to increased duties in the ongoing U.S.-Canada dispute over softwood lumber. He also highlighted that the proposed tariffs would not only hurt British Columbia's economy but also affect U.S. businesses dependent on Canadian imports. Eby and Ottawa have called for a united front against Trump's plan and stressed the importance of addressing organized crime and illicit drug trafficking at the border. He argued that the proposed tariffs is not economically justified and would harm both countries
