Canadian premiers gathered in Ottawa to discuss a response to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. While united in standing up for the national interest, premiers expressed differing views on how to respond, with some advocating for retaliatory tariffs and others suggesting a more measured approach. The meeting focused on the potential economic impact of the tariffs and the importance of addressing the issues of drug trafficking and border security raised by the incoming Trump administration.
OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged his colleagues to put the country first as the premiers sat down with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday to hash out a response to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and his threat to impose potentially devastating tariffs on Canada .
The other two issues are the joint management of border security and"ensuring the continued integrity of our immigration system," he said. Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey told reporters Wednesday morning that Canada should make sure the U.S. is aware of its critical reliance on Canadian energy but not pull back on those exports just yet.
Both Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have rejected the idea of any measures that would affect Canada's energy exports to the United States. Canada is the top supplier of foreign oil to the U.S. and accounts for about one-fifth of its oil supply.
