With the new tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, Trump wants residents of the countries to trade more from the United States. In Canada, where 75 percent of exports go to the United States, people are angry but also worried about what customs will do with a Canadian economy, says SVT’s USA correspondent Fouad Youcefi, on site in Toronto.
On the political scene, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was quickly out and announced that US goods worth the equivalent of $ 155 billion will be coated with tariffs at 25 percent. The tariffs apply to a wide range of products, including juice, beer, bourbon, meat, milk products, clothing, sports equipment and wood. Even on the store flooring, the answer has come quickly.
– Around Canadian stores, you pick up American spirits and encourage customers to buy Canadian, says Fouad Youcefi.
-At the same time, lots of stores have begun to advertise their domestic products with small “buy Canadian” signs.
Donald Trump will talk to Canada and Mexico on Monday. He said that to reporters late on Sunday evening local time.
