Face-Off | Trump Stands Firm On Tariffs, Trudeau Warns Of Strong Retaliation

A fresh trade showdown is brewing between the U.S. and Canada as President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take opposing stands on tariffs. Trump has reaffirmed his decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, citing the fentanyl crisis and trade imbalances. In response, Trudeau has vowed an "immediate and extremely strong" retaliation if tariffs on Canadian goods come into effect. While the U.S. justifies the move as a crackdown on illicit drug trafficking, Canada maintains that it is not the source of the problem. With both leaders standing firm, tensions are escalating, setting the stage for a high-stakes economic standoff.
