Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called President Trump’s tariffs “very dumb” and attempted to make a direct appeal to the American people as he announced retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars of American goods.
Saying he wanted to speak directly to one specific American, “Donald,” Trudeau said the tariff tit-for-tat would make it harder for the countries to work together, as they have for decades.
“It’s not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal, but Donald, they point out that even though you’re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see,” he said.
His comments toward Trump came after he addressed the American people, saying that Canada did not want to “hurt” Americans.
“But your government has chosen to do this to you,” he said.
