Trump says he’s moving forward with tariffs on Canada and Mexico next week

WASHINGTON – Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Monday that Canada needs to send the message it will “fight back” after U.S. President Donald Trump said steep tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products are indeed coming next week.

In a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Monday, Trump was asked directly whether he was moving ahead with levies against America’s closest neighbours.

“The tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule,” Trump said.
