Prime Minister Justin Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 office says he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump this morning and will speak with him again later this afternoon.

The call comes as Canadian leaders respond to Trump91裸聊视频檚 25 per cent tariffs, which are set to take effect on Tuesday.

Trump said Monday he thinks he91裸聊视频檒l have another 91裸聊视频渧ery good conversation91裸聊视频� with Trudeau in the afternoon, when the two leaders are set to speak about the impending trade war.

He also said Canada is 91裸聊视频渧ery tough91裸聊视频� to deal with and offered no indication he will back away from his plan to impose punishing tariffs on Tuesday.

Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office Monday after striking a deal with his Mexican counterpart to delay the imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on that country.

His comments suggested the goalposts are continuing to shift for Canada. Trump91裸聊视频檚 stated rationale for the tariffs 91裸聊视频� which would be 10 per cent on energy and 25 per cent on everything else 91裸聊视频� is the need to exert pressure on Canada to stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants into the U.S.

But Trump also has cited the United States91裸聊视频� trade deficit with Canada, which is based almost entirely on Canadian oil and gas exports to the U.S. He has said Canada can avoid the tariffs if it becomes a state and has suggested he would use 91裸聊视频渆conomic force91裸聊视频� to make that happen.

91裸聊视频淲hat I91裸聊视频檇 like to see? Canada become our 51st state,91裸聊视频� he said Monday, adding 91裸聊视频渨e don91裸聊视频檛 need them for anything.91裸聊视频�

He also raised new grievances about the financial sector and claimed again that Canada is unfair to the U.S.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e not treated well by Canada, and we have to be treated well,91裸聊视频� he said, adding he had a number of questions for Trudeau when they spoke Monday morning, including one about why American banks aren91裸聊视频檛 operating in Canada.

91裸聊视频淚 think we91裸聊视频檒l win most of the subjects, but for some reason a lot of things have been very unfair with Canada.91裸聊视频�

The Canadian Bankers Association said Monday in a statement that there are 16 U.S.-based bank subsidiaries and branches in Canada, with combined assets amount to more than $113 billion. That amounts to about half of all foreign bank assets in the country.

On Saturday, Trump signed executive orders that laid out a plan to hit Canada and Mexico with tariffs on Tuesday. He also added another 10 per cent tariff on Chinese goods.

On Monday morning, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that she91裸聊视频檚 agreed to send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border to combat drug trafficking. Mexico first sent troops to its northern border in 2019, citing pressure from the U.S. to curb migration.

Trump said on Truth Social that after a 91裸聊视频渧ery friendly conversation91裸聊视频� with Sheinbaum, he had agreed to pause the imposition of tariffs on Mexico for one month to allow for negotiations.

91裸聊视频淚 look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a 91裸聊视频榙eal91裸聊视频� between our two Countries,91裸聊视频� Trump said.

Trump relied upon the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare an economic emergency that allowed him to bypass Congress and impose the tariffs on his own.

The executive orders say the levies are a response to illegal immigration and drug smuggling. The order related to Canada says Mexican cartels are operating in the country and claims the modest amount of fentanyl intercepted at the northern border would be enough to kill 91裸聊视频�9.5 million Americans.91裸聊视频�

Trump also has said repeatedly he thinks tariffs are 91裸聊视频渂eautiful91裸聊视频� and claims they can make the U.S. wealthier, despite the short-term pain for businesses and consumers.

Trump91裸聊视频檚 tariffs are being condemned by American business and labour groups, including the National Association of Homebuilders, the United Steelworkers International and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

91裸聊视频淭he imposition of tariffs under IEEPA is unprecedented, won91裸聊视频檛 solve these problems, and will only raise prices for American families and upend supply chains,91裸聊视频� John Murphy, the chamber91裸聊视频檚 senior vice-president and head of international, said in a Saturday statement.

Both Canada and Mexico promised to strike back with counter-tariffs over the weekend, paving the way for a possible trade war.

Ottawa91裸聊视频檚 counter-tariff plan would begin on Tuesday with 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion in goods originating in the U.S.

In three weeks, after consulting with industry, the federal government plans to impose tariffs on another $125 billion in U.S. goods.

Trudeau said additional non-tariff measures are being discussed by the federal and provincial governments, including some related to critical minerals, energy and procurement.

It is not clear what, if anything, Canada could promise to do on its border to convince Trump to reverse course.

Ottawa laid out a $1.3-billion border plan in December that will add personnel, helicopters, drones, drug-sniffing dogs and surveillance towers to the border.

Trudeau met with opposition leaders on Sunday to discuss the Canadian response to tariffs. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said Trudeau told them it91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渋ncreasingly clear91裸聊视频� that nothing more Canada does on the border would make a difference.

She said Trudeau told them Trump91裸聊视频檚 tariff policy 91裸聊视频渨as not really about fentanyl. It was about Canada and our sovereignty.91裸聊视频�

Premiers have laid out plans for their own countermeasures. Several provinces have pledged to stop buying U.S. alcohol and to remove it from the shelves of provincial liquor stores, while others, including Ontario, will bar American companies from provincial contracts.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also called on the government to send Canadian Armed Forces troops and helicopters to the border.

91裸聊视频淲e need a Canada first agenda that will protect us against these unfair and unjustifiable tariffs,91裸聊视频� he said Monday, adding the plan must include retaliatory tariffs, measures to strengthen the border and a tax cut.

91裸聊视频淭hat is how we become stronger, more self-reliant, and less hopelessly dependent on foreign powers and foreign governments.91裸聊视频�

He also repeated his call for the Liberal government to reconvene Parliament to debate and pass measures to oppose the tariffs.

Trudeau prorogued Parliament until March 24 while the Liberal party chooses its next leader. The government can impose retaliatory tariffs without recalling Parliament but any legislative changes or major aid packages would require parliamentary approval.
