"Where's our plan to fight back?”: Poilievre, Singh demand Trudeau respond to Trump tariff

After U.S. president-elect Donald Trump proposed a 25-per cent tariff on all items coming into the United States once he takes office in January, debate was heated during question period in the House of Commons of Tuesday as both the Conservatives and the NDP pressured Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to respond. “We need a plan for economy and security that puts Canada first,” demanded Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre adding that the “radical liberalization of drugs that have killed people and now threaten ours borders… no plan to cancel the tax increases that will drive billions and many jobs away.” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said “Donald Trump's threats of tariffs could threaten hundreds of thousands of Canadians mortgage paying jobs. The only thing a bully responds to is strength. So where's our plan to fight back?” Trudeau responded saying “Rather than panicking, we're engaging in constructive ways to protect Canadian jobs like we have before. I don't think the idea of going to war with the United States is what anyone wants.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10888676/canada-us-trump-tariffs-timeline-what-is-a-tariff/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #trump
