President Donald Trump has taken a direct jab at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As of Tuesday morning, imports from Canada are now to be taxed at 25%, with Canadian energy products getting tariffed at 10%. The US has also imposed tariffs on imports from Mexico and China.<\/p>\n

In response to Washington\u2019s trade restrictions, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada’s retaliatory measures: hitting $30 billion worth of US imports with a 25% tariff, BBC News reported.<\/p>\n

Trump, known for his outspoken criticism of trade policies he deems unfair, lashed out at the 53-year-old on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n

“Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a retaliatory tariff on the U.S., our reciprocal tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!” he wrote.<\/p>\n

The pointed use of \u201cGovernor\u201d rather than Prime Minister appears to be a not-so-subtle dig at Trudeau. It reinforces the 78-year-old’s past suggestion that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States – an idea that the leader and many Canadian officials have firmly rejected.<\/p>\n

Trudeau wasted no time in responding to Trump\u2019s tariffs, condemning the US decision as a reckless move.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they are talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense,\u201d he said, cited by AP news.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to speak directly to one specific American, Donald,\u201d Trudeau continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal, but Donald, they point out that even though you\u2019re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

“There is absolutely no justification or need whatsoever for these tariffs today,” he said, adding that they will challenge the US at the World Trade Organization and under the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.<\/p>\n
