Quebec premier says Trudeau must get serious about border problems to avoid Trump's tariffs

François Legault said Canada 'must do everything' to avoid 25 per cent tariffs on all products exported to the United States

OTTAWA — Quebec Premier François Legault said Canada “must do everything” to avoid the U.S. president-elect’s plan to impose 25-per-cent tariffs on all products exported to the United States, as it would represent “a huge risk” to the provincial economy.

Calling Donald Trump’s announcement a “bombshell” that could affect “tens of thousands of jobs in Quebec and Canada,” Legault said the federal government must take “seriously” the “legitimate concerns of the president-elect regarding immigration” and border control.
