Canadian PM Hopeful Lays Out Plan To Fight Tariffs

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Chrystia Freeland, the former finance minister who is running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister, says her country needs to release a “retaliation list” of goods the country would target if U.S. President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on Canadian goods. A list of products worth $200 billion Canadian dollars would send a message to U.S. exporters about the harm tariffs would cause them, Freeland said Monday in a statement. “Our counterpunch must be dollar-for-dollar — and it must be precisely and painfully targeted: Florida orange growers, Wisconsin dairy farmers, Michigan dishwasher manufacturers, and much more.”
