Canada’s bold tariff retaliation plans: Trade war with Trump?

Canada is preparing sweeping counter-tariffs against US exports if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his threat to impose 25% levies on Canadian goods. Unlike the targeted approach in 2018, Trudeau’s government is now considering measures that could hit nearly every US export, including orange juice from Florida and strategic commodities like oil and uranium. While Canada hopes to avoid a trade war, officials emphasize that they are ready to go “dollar for dollar” in response. Will these threats escalate into a full-blown trade war, or can diplomacy prevail between the two countries?
