Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday “nothing is off the table” when it comes to responding to proposed tariffs by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, but that no single region of the country should bear the full brunt from that response.

The government is preparing for the possibility that the incoming U.S. administration will impose high tariffs on Canadian goods, setting the close allies up for a showdown.

Canada could impose countermeasures on up to C$150 billion worth of U.S. imports if President-elect Donald Trump puts tariffs on Canadian goods and services, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Canada has drawn up an initial list of C$150 billion ($105 billion) of US-manufactured items that it would hit with tariffs if President-elect Donald Trump decides to levy tariffs against Canadian goods,

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks about Canada becoming America’s “51st state” is distracting the public from the harm that steep tariffs would have on U.

Everything is on the the table,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Wednesday, though not all premiers agree.

Although aluminium prices for U.S. consumers have risen since Donald Trump's election win, the rise has been muted, signalling the industry is not expecting the President-elect to carry out his threat to impose hefty tariffs on Canadian imports.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada's premiers say all options are on the table to respond to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose devastating tariffs on Canada.
