Conrad Black: A comprehensive plan for Canada to survive Trump’s trade war
Retaliation should be confined to those areas that get maximum American attention at minimum cost to ourselves
US President Trump has threatened to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods. According to the National Post, Trump has stated that he likes Canada, but is frustrated that Canada's trade negotiators are more skilled than the US's.
The US is scheduled to impose 50 per cent tariff increases on a range of Canadian items on August 19. However, there are rumors of a potential preemptive agreement that could avoid these tariffs.
US Senator Chuck Grassley, quoted in the Winnipeg Free Press, said Trump's threat should serve as a "wake-up call" for Canada to make some changes.
