Canada to retaliate 'dollar for dollar' after U.S. slaps 10% tariff on aluminum

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the measures Thursday evening hours after Trump said he would impose the tariffs during a campaign speech at a Whirlpool factory in Ohio, citing national security concerns.

Freeland, in a statement, said Canada "intends to swiftly impose dollar-for-dollar countermeasures" in response.

WOW, what a deal f-art-ist.

Kudos to the Canadian Liberal government for responding to that criminal.
