Our preference was to find a deal that benefits both countries, we still believe that’s possible, but in the meantime we’re not waiting by the phone. We’re going to do the work that’s necessary to protect our own economy.

I’m not thinking that the government of Canada is going to apologize for standing up for Canadian workers, Canadian businesses, defending our economy.
The American government decided to apply a series of tariffs that violated a free-trade agreement that this administration signed six years ago.
Our first priority remains on protecting and supporting Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses from these unjustified actions.
We look forward to further constructive U.S. clarifications on their other positions which would create the possibility of a mutually beneficial trade agreement that respects Canadian sovereignty.
