P.E.I. premier to provide update on response to U.S. tariffs
CBC
P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz and the cabinet committee on trade relations are expected to provide an update on the province's response to U.S. tariffs.
President Donald Trump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods overnight, triggering a trade war between the two countries.
Trump has said he wants to punish Canada for a supposedly lax approach to drugs and migrants, though data shows a border crackdown is already producing results.
Lantz was sworn in as premier on Feb. 21 — just over a week ago — after former premier Dennis King resigned.
About 80 per cent of P.E.I.'s total exports go to the U.S., and King had warned before he stepped down that any tariff could have a "catastrophic" effect on the local economy, impacting the province's ability to spend in areas such as housing, social assistance, education and health care.
