Booze, oil and orange juice: How Canada could fight Trump tariffs

Canada has been weighing its options in response to a threat of tariffs from US President Donald Trump.

Trump has said he could levy a 25% tariff on Canadian imports as soon as Saturday.

Tariffs are a central part of the economic vision of the returning US president. He sees them as a way of growing the US economy, protecting jobs and raising tax revenue.

Economists suggest that such a move could have devastating immediate impacts on Canada’s economy – while also leading to higher prices for Americans.
