Global News
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau added that U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war will continue for the 'foreseeable future' but Canada will 'not back down.'
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday said he had a “colourful” phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, but the trade war imposed by the president will last for the “foreseeable future.”
“I can confirm that it was a colorful call. And it was also a very substantive call,” Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa.
He added, “We talked about a range of issues, of course, primarily the trade war that they have chosen to unjustly launch on Canada.”
When asked if any profanities were exchanged or if the conversation got heated, Trudeau said, “I’m not going to get into it in details. But there were different sections of the conversation in which different approaches and tones (were used). But I’ve been having conversations and working with Donald for over eight years now. And a lot of it is rolling with it.”
Trudeau said the trade war with Trump will continue for a while.
“I can confirm that we will continue to be in a trade war that was launched by the United States for the foreseeable future,” he said.
Trudeau added that Canada will not be backing down from its retaliation.
“We will not be backing down from our response tariffs until such a time as the unjustified American tariffs on Canadian goods are lifted,” he said.
