Trudeau, Macron, Europe deplore 'illegal' Trump tariff decision
READ MORE
Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is furious at the Trump administration’s new tariffs to be imposed from Friday on Canadian, Mexican and European steel and aluminium.
The European Union says it is ready to retaliate immediately, with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker calling the metals crackdown “protectionism, pure and simple”.
While French President Emmanuel Macron labelled them a mistake.
The move, announced by US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a telephone briefing on Thursday, ended months of uncertainty about potential tariff exemptions and suggested a hardening of the Trump administration’s approach to trade negotiations. The reaction was swift.
In a long series of Twitter posts, possibly designed to speak to US President Donald Trump directly, Trudeau called the measures an “attack” and “unacceptable”, and announced retaliatory measures.
