Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hinted at strong measures against potential U.S. tariffs under the incoming Trump administration.
However, policy analyst Ken Girardin cautioned that limiting cross-border trade, including energy, would harm both nations and create economic uncertainty.
Girardin noted the intertwined economies of regions like Buffalo and the North Country, urging quick resolution to tariff threats.
He criticized using tariffs to renegotiate trade deals, warning of adverse effects on investment and supply chains.
