Trade War Erupts: Canada Fires Back at Trump Tariffs with a Bold Move

Ottawa - In a dramatic turn of events, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has issued a powerful response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. Trudeau’s message was clear—Canada will not back down.  

Standing firm against what he called an "unjust attack" on trade relations, Trudeau reminded Americans of the deep historical ties between the two nations. "From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Korea, we fought and died with you," he declared, emphasizing the sacrifices Canadians have made alongside their American allies.  

But words were not all Trudeau had to offer. In a swift and strategic countermeasure, Canada has announced its own set of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, targeting key American industries. From consumer products like alcohol and household appliances to essential exports such as lumber and plastics, the tariffs are expected to hit American manufacturers hard.  

The move signals the beginning of a full-fledged trade war, with economic consequences that could ripple across both nations. Experts warn that consumers on both sides of the border may feel the pinch, as prices for everyday goods rise and industries brace for financial setbacks.
