Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took aim at President Trump on Thursday over his implementation of steel and aluminum tariffs against Canada and other nations.
At a press conference Thursday, the Canadian leader issued some of his strongest remarks against the Trump administration's trade policies to date.
"Let me be clear: These tariffs are totally unacceptable," Trudeau said. "Canadians have served alongside Americans in two world wars and in Korea. From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, we have fought and died together."
Noting that Canada purchases more U.S. steel than any other nation, Trudeau lambasted the Trump administration for initiating the tariffs under the guise of confronting a threat to national security. "Canada is a secure supplier of aluminum and steel to the U.S. defense industry, putting aluminum in American planes and steel in American tanks," Trudeau said. "That Canada could be considered a national security threat to the United States is inconceivable."
"These tariffs are an affront to the long-standing security partnership between Canada and the United States, and in particular, to the thousands of Canadians who have fought and died alongside American comrades-in-arms," he finished.

Yes he is stark raving mad sharia lover.
I don’t think he likes the tariffs.
Because the current trade deals are good for them but bad for the USA.
Are we supposed to stay in trade deals that are bad for us? Trudeau is being unreasonable.
Well,howdy! :-)
.
They have absolutely NOTHING at all to do with it!
Hi! :-)
They aren't allies.
The Canadians also burned down Washington DC under the British.
Hmmm, he’d probably get more effect if he used that example...
Drop you tariffs on our stuff then. We’ll do the same.
Seems so. It is the go to answer when they have nothing else. When did Canada fight next to us?? WW2? Vietnam? Could google it but just going to ask because google is as evil as Trudeau and his ilk lovin’ sharia types.
Wait just a minute....since when does Trudeau care about his soldiers over his new voter base the sharia types? When he won’t be able to get cash from us to pay for his sharia types.
He’s going to be peeing in his cuckhole pants if Trump tweets about him.
So as long as they have some skin in the game you’re cool with them dumping. Got it.
+1
He’s a pretty boy with nothing between the ears.
The only reason he got elected is his Dad was premiere. What a loser.
We’re gonna force that Canadian Toyota plant to shut down, Trudy. That’s right, the one that’s been dumping RV-4’s into the United States.
Kiss Nafta good-bye, Trudy. Have a nice day.
Excellent point, though he is far too stupid to manage to come up with that.
Trudeau needs a Midol.
Canada had a huge ground force, Air Force and Navy in World War II. Kind of sad to think about how far they’ve come since then. They did help in Korea, which was before he was born. They’ve participated in Afghanistan to the best of their abilities.
A disgusting exploitation of honorable Canadian soldiers.
GTH, Trudeau.
Boohoo.
I would also like to know more about why the tariffs were implemented against Canada. I read somewhere that China uses Mexico and Canada to ship underpriced Chinese steel into the USA. In other words, it’s not necessarily Canadian steel coming in from Canada. I don’t know if that’s true, but it would seem to be good justification for tariffs.
