The press secretary of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, says that the plan to slap Canada with punishment tariffs on Saturday is still at stake, since NDP leader Jagmeet Singh leaves the door open to support the liberal government If devastating duties are implemented.
Karoline Leavitt told the White House journalists that he spoke with the president on Monday night and indicated that on February 1 “he was still in the books” for the introduction of harmful duties against Canada and Mexico.
Ottawa has prepared multiple options for retaliation rates, depending on what Trump finally does. Trump initially promised tariffs through 25 percent in response to what he called the failure of both countries to stop the illegal flow of people and drugs on the border.
Canadian officials have been by bicycle through Washington in recent weeks to promote the border security plan of $ 1.3 billion Canada and argue that tariffs would harm both economies.
The federal government is also looking for a help package to help companies and industries affected by Trump tariffs. Multiple prime ministers have said that the provinces are considering help plans such as those introduced during the pandemic.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Joly, says that the objective of the government is to avoid the threatened tariffs of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, without publicly saying what the plan is imposed.
It is not clear what Ottawa has planned, but much of the expense is likely to require legislative approval.
That cannot happen until March 24, when the Parliament resumes in the sitting. The opposition leaders have promised to demolish the liberal minority government to the first opportunity.
But Singh leaves the door open to support the government’s plan to respond to a tariff war, assuming that he has the opportunity to see it first.
The PND leader said Tuesday that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the liberals brought together the opposition leaders to present the government response plan. Singh said that such a plan for Trump’s tariff threats has not been presented.
With the threat of tariffs of the imminent United States, the leader of the NDP Jagmeet Singh is asked if he would support the liberals if they presented a plan to support workers. Singh says that the liberals have presented anything to him or other opposition leaders and says that his “position remains: we will vote against the government as soon as possible.”
“As is, my position continues to vote against the government as soon as possible,” said Singh in Burnaby, BC
“If the liberals take support to the workers, and I think they should, then they join the opposition leaders, present a plan.”
Leavitt was asked about the efforts of Canada and Mexico to address Trump’s concerns about border security, but only pointed out a “historical level of cooperation of Mexico”, not to mention the Canada border plan. The number of people and drugs that illegally cross the United States from Canada is lowercase compared to the volume that crosses the southern border of the United States.
Leavitt, who is the youngest person to serve as presidential press secretary of the United States, also asked Trump’s pause questions about federal subsidies and loans, as well as the increase in immigration and customs compliance agents to comply with with the promise of mass deportations of the president.
Trump has signed a stack of executive actions since he returned to office since his new administration tries to quickly push the United States in a different direction. The president has also exercised his tariff threat against a growing number of countries, more recently against Colombia on Sunday.
Trump did not implement the tasks against Canada on his first day back in office, as he had promised to do.
Instead, he signed an executive action that orders multiple federal agencies to study commercial policies and commercial deficits. He directs the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of National Security to evaluate the migration and fentanyl flows of Canada, Mexico and China, and recommend “appropriate measures of national security and security to resolve that emergency.”
With the tariff threat of 25 percent of Donald Trump against Canada linked to border security, the national breakdown the numbers to find out how many drugs and undocumented migrants are crossing the United States from Canada.
Trump’s order says the report on trade with Canada is not due until April 1. But the president has not retired from his tariff threat and has repeatedly suggested that the duties will arrive on February 1.
His rhetoric has continued to increase with complaints far beyond border security. He has insisted that the United States does not need Canadian products and products and continues to remake Canada for its defense expenses.
“Canada has taken large amounts of, you know, millions of cars send us. We don’t need them for that,” Trump told Republican legislators in Florida on Monday night.
“We want cars to be in Detroit or South Carolina or in many other places, whether union or not union.”
