"Fight fire with fire": Poilievre vows to counter Trump economic policies, US tariffs on Canada
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is vowing to “fight fire with fire” and address U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s economic protectionism with policies aimed at attracting investment and higher wages in Canada. Poilievre told Jas Johal on Corus Radio station CKNW in Vancouver on Friday he also supports increased security at the U.S.-Canada border, but downplayed fears that Trump’s promised mass deportations will lead to an influx of migrants seeking to enter Canada. Corus Entertainment is the parent company of Global News. Johal asked how Poilievre would plan to deal with Trump if he imposed tariffs on Canada, as he’s promised a blanket 10-per cent tariff on all foreign imports to the U.S. “First of all, we should be exempt from all these tariffs. I can’t believe that (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau signed a trade deal with Trump that leaves open the possibility of a 10-per cent tariff. I never would have agreed to that,” Poilievre said. “But more importantly, I’ll fight fire with fire.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10872407/poilievre-trump-tariffs-immigration-us-canada/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #Poilievre #Trump
