Key quotes (via LiveSquawk & Canada’s Council on Foreign Relations Twitter Feed)
- We are trying to be reasonable but have to respond to punitive tariffs.
- In order to defend Canadian interests, having a constructive relationship with the president, with the United States administration, while choosing not to escalate and respond in kind, is something we need to do.
- There is no other country that has such an invested interest in the U.S. doing well than Canada because we are so interlinked.
