Ready to respond if Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on Feb 1, says Canada

Canadian leaders expressed relief Monday that broad tariffs were not applied to Canadian products on the first day of Donald Trump's presidency, but Trump later said he could impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canada and Mexico on February 1. Trump has been threatening to impose sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and other trading partners. An incoming White House official who insisted on anonymity pointed reporters on Monday morning to a Wall Street Journal story saying Trump will only sign a memorandum telling federal agencies to study trade issues. Still, Trump pledged in his inaugural address that tariffs would be coming and said foreign countries would be paying the trade penalties, even though those taxes are currently paid by domestic importers and often passed along to consumers. We're thinking in terms of 25 per cent on Mexico and Canada, Trump said Monday night in the Oval Office. I think February 1st." Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc earlier said reprieve is too strong of a

India drops to 3rd in trust index; low-income less trusting of institutions

India has slipped one place to third slot when it comes to people's trust in the government, businesses, media and NGOs, while the low-income population is far less trusting than their richer counterparts, a study showed here on Monday. The annual Edelman Trust Barometer, now in its 25th year, released before the start of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, also showed that India ranks low at 13th place when it comes to trust of people in other countries, in companies with Indian headquarters. Canada topped this list of foreign-headquartered companies, followed by Japan, Germany, the UK, France and the US, while those ranked higher than India also included Mexico, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, China and Brazil. The overall list for trust of the general population in the government, businesses, media and NGOs was again topped by China, while Indonesia replaced India for the second spot by virtue of an increased score despite the Indian score remaining unchanged. The survey of 28

Trump's talk about Canada becoming 51st state isn't funny: Canadian leaders

US President-elect Donald Trump's comments that Canada should become the 51st state are no longer a joke and are meant to undermine America's closest ally, Canada's finance minister said Wednesday. Dominic LeBlanc, the country's point person for US-Canada relations, said Trump was smiling when he first made the comment during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in late November. The joke is over, said LeBlanc. It's a way for him, I think, to sow confusion, to agitate people, to create chaos knowing this will never happen. Trump keeps floating the idea that Canada should join the United States as the 51st state, saying Tuesday he would not use military force to invade the country, which is home to more than 40 million people and is a founding NATO partner. Instead, Trump said he would rely on economic force as he erroneously cast the US trade deficit with Canada a natural resource-rich nation that provides the US with commodities like oil as a subsidy. It's

Donald Trump says he will use economic force to make Canada a part of US

US President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he will use economic force to make Canada a part of the United States, a comment that attracted sharp reaction from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. No, Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago in Florida when asked if he is considering military force to annex and acquire Canada. Over the past few weeks, Trump has asserted that he wants to make Canada part of the United States and its 51st state. Many times, he has been mocking Trudeau as the Governor of Canada. (I will be using) economic force because Canada and the United States, that would really be something. You get rid of that artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like, and it would also be much better for national security. Don't forget, we basically protect Canada, Trump said. Trudeau, who resigned as the prime minister of Canada a day earlier, responded sharply on social media. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part
