Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly star-news.press/wp


Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly told the BBC to believe that Canada can win a trade war that was encouraged by a series of tariffs ordered by US President Donald Trump.
“We are the biggest buyer of the US,” Jolyy said, said the World Service Weekend’s BBC. “We buy more than Americans than China, Japan, Great Britain and France.”
Jolyy said tariffs and increased priority prices are for Canadians to prepare to move to polling stations to choose a new Prime Minister later this year.
The US president imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports from Canada. Trump also promised that 2. April would impose a wiping the range of “reciprocal” tariffs.
Jolyy said they were because American and Canadian economies are so intertwined, “we have the most half in the world when it comes to the United States.”
She noted that they were not only Canadians feel pain from tariffs, but also “diligent Americans”.
But Jolyy said that they could be Americans who are the most successful in the invitation to the end of the Trade War.
“We think they are ultimately the only ones to help us win this war … are Americans alone because they are those who can send a message to their legislators,” she said about the BBC.
“We can win the hearts and minds of Americans, because they are ultimately those who pay for it,” she added, notes that both American and Canadian jobs were at risk.
The trade war is expected to be at the head of Canadians in the head when they move on surveys on their first federal elections in almost a decade.
Reports suggest that Prime Minister Carney could Call for choices on Sunday. The elections are expected to be held on March 28. April.
And not only liberals that make up the case against American tariffs, the conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was also in the trade war. He claimed that it was best equipped to download Trump.
“There is no good reason to do that with those good people,” Poilievrev said earlier this week. “Stop tariffs, stop chaos.”
Trump promised to impose additional tariffs of Canada, and other countries around the world, 2. April – inviting these tariffs “big”.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to impose reciprocal tariffs if Trump Tariff threats come to the fruition.
Will lead to back and back heads in relation to North America countries.
Frustration through the Trade War brought that some Canadians began to protest.
On Saturday, the Canadians held “elbows”, protesting that he had receded against President Trump’s desire to see Canada from 51. The US state, and a permanent trade war.
The expression, which is used in hockey to describe the dam and fight back, is full of protesters in Canada.
In the Interview for the World Weekend Weekend, Joly also asked about the upcoming federal elections.
She said that the Liberal Party of “Very will” to ensure that Canadians give foreigners “clear mandate” to deal with Trump and threatening tariffs.
Jolyy said that Canadians were “preoccupied” after what was happening in the White House and they are looking for a prime minister who has “strong values.”
The race will probably lower the choice between Carney and the Conservative Leader of Pierre Poilier.
Why is Trump using tariffs?
Tariffs are the central part of the Trump’s entire economic vision.
He says the tariffs will enhance American production and protection of jobs, increasing the tax revenue and growing domestic economy.
He also wants to return the US Trade Balance with his foreign partners – reducing the gap that exists between how much now imports and exports to individual countries.
But he refused to exclude the appearance for the recession as a result of his trading policies, which the labeling of us strongly sent us before metal tariffs came into force.
The U.S. Secretary of the Howard Lutnick trade later said that the tariffs were “valued” even if they led to economic fall.
Trump tariffs initially targeted goods from China, Mexico and Canada.
They made up more than 40% imports in the US 2024. years.
But Trump accused the three countries not to do enough to end the flow of migrants and illegal drugs such as Fentanil in the United States.
All three countries have declined the charges.
