Incoming U.S. president Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico when he is inaugurated later this month.
Trudeau and the premiers will meet in Ottawa next week to discuss Canada’s response plan including retaliatory tariffs.
CBC News first reported Wednesday that a draft list was circulating among a small group of top officials in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, and that the list includes products such as Florida orange juice.
