Chrystia Freeland sent shockwaves through Canada when she resigned as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Finance Minister in December. Her public resignation letter blasted Trudeau for not doing enough to prepare for the second Trump administration.
Liberal leadership contender Chrystia Freeland released Monday what she's calling her "plan to stand up to Trump" — a policy document that includes the threat of big tariffs on U.S. goods to make the Americans pay if they go after the Canadian economy.
Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says her top rival Mark Carney appears to be “the choice of the Liberal establishment” as more federal cabinet ministers rally around the former Bank of Canada governor.
The former finance minister said her plan calls for the immediate release of a long list of $200 billion in retaliatory tariffs to deter Trump from making good on his threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports as soon as February.
Chrystia Freeland, former finance minister and candidate for Canadian prime minister, suggests a 'retaliation list’ of targeted U.S. exports if Trump imposes tariffs. She plans to restrict U.S. companies from Canadian procurement and convene a global summit to counteract threats to Canada’s sovereignty.
Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland says Canada needs to release a $200 billion plan to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs.
Chrystia Freeland, running for Canadian PM, suggests a 'retaliation list' against Trump's tariff threats. Targeted US exports could face retaliation valued at 200 billion CAD. Freeland proposes prohibiting US companies from Canadian bids and an international summit to tackle US trade aggression.
In a media statement, the former finance minister called on the federal government to release a list of $200 billion in retaliatory tariffs to prepare for U.S. President Donald Trump to make good on his threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports.
A list of products worth 200 billion Canadian dollars (USD 139 billion) would send a message to US exporters about the harm tariffs would cause them, Freeland said in a statement.
A key candidate running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister is calling for an international summit to hammer out a joint response to US President Donald Trump’s tariff and sovereignty threats.
