  • Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she received no indication from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend that he plans to back down on implementing hefty tariffs on Canadian products.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States, focusing on former U.S. President Donald Trump's stance on tariffs. Despite the change in U.S. leadership, there is no indication that Trump will back down from his aggressive tariff policies, which have historically targeted Canadian goods like steel and aluminum. Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has expressed that while Canada will not retaliate with tariffs, the country remains vigilant and prepared to defend its interests. The article highlights the economic implications of these tariffs, suggesting that retaliating might not be the best approach for Canada, as it could lead to further economic strain. Instead, Canada is focusing on diplomatic solutions and maintaining open lines of communication with the U.S. to navigate these trade disputes.
