OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada is totally focused on making sure the United States does not go ahead with a threat to impose tariffs on Canadian imports, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday.
"If ever there are tariffs brought in Canada, our response will be immediate and strong, but we don't want that. We are going to do the work to make sure they don't come on," he told a televised news conference in Montreal.
