Canada vowed strong pushback while Mexico urged calm on Tuesday in the face of Trump's trade threats
OTTAWA – Canada vowed strong pushback while Mexico urged calm on Tuesday in the face of US President Donald Trump's trade threats that risk throwing their economies into disarray.
A Canadian government source told AFP that Ottawa is considering higher duties on US goods including steel products, ceramics like toilets and sinks, glassware and orange juice -- in a first phase of tariffs that could be extended. "It's important to always keep a cool head and refer to signed agreements, beyond actual speeches," she said at her regular morning conference.Trump defended the tariffs on his first day in office, telling reporters as he signed an array of executive orders that Canada and Mexico are allowing "vast numbers of people to come in, and fentanyl to come in."
The pact replaced an earlier continental trade agreement from the 1990s and included new labor provisions aimed in particular at improving worker rights in Mexico.Mexico leapfrogged China in 2023 to become the United States's largest trading partner. That year, the American trade deficit with Mexico rose to US$150 billion.
