Chrystia Freeland: “Trump’s tariffs ‘self-defeating and self-mutilating’”

Right now, this is maybe abstract for Americans. But if these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans... You are going to be putting tariffs, a tax, on the oil and gas and electricity that we sell you.

As Prime Minister, my approach would be united, strong, and smart.

Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to the White House.

I have a message today for President Trump. If you force our hand, we will inflict the biggest trade blow that the United States has ever endured.
