Canada's former finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, has expressed determination for her country to stand up for itself in response to US President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Freeland emphasized that while Canada does not seek conflict, it will not back down in the face of these tariffs.
Freeland criticized the tariffs as a 'terrible' idea, labeling the situation as 'lose-lose' and warning that it will ultimately harm Americans, as they rely on Canada for essential goods. She highlighted the potential consequences of the tariffs, such as increased gas and grocery prices in the US, which could lead to job losses.
