Singh, a former Liberal Party ally of embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, promised to retaliate, saying Canada would not back down in the face of threats. He warned that if Donald Trump thinks he can quarrel with us, he will have to pay the price.
Left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) leader and Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh has issued a stern warning to US President-elect Donald Trump if he follows through on his threats of imposing punitive tariffs and merger with Canada. Retaliatory action will be taken.
I have a message for Donald Trump. Our country is not for sale – not now, not ever. I’ve been all over the country and I can tell you that Canadians are a proud people. We are proud of our country and we are ready to fight tooth and nail to protect it. Singh, a former ally of embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party, promised to retaliate, saying Canada would not back down in the face of threats. He warned that if Donald Trump thinks he can fight with us, he will have to pay the price.
Trump, who takes office next week, has threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports. However, he suggested he might reconsider if Ottawa improves security at the Canada–US border, which he claims is a gateway for undocumented migrants. He has also argued that a merger of the two countries could eliminate tariffs and reduce taxes, a notion rejected by top Canadian officials, who warned of a potential trade war.
