Canadian MP reacts to Trump’s threat, ‘America will have to pay the price’

Donald Trump continues to make statements regarding Canada. It also mocks Canada’s joining the United States. In this matter, Left New Democratic Party leader and Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh has given a strong warning to the future President of America. He said that if Trump follows through on his threats of imposing punitive taxes on Canada and merger between the two countries, he will get a befitting reply.

Clear message to Donald Trump

It is noteworthy that the Canadian MP said in a video shared on social media, “I have a message for Donald Trump. Our country is not for sale, not today and never. “I’ve traveled all over the country and I can tell you that Canadians need this.” We are ready to fight with full force to save their country.

Importantly, Jagmeet Singh, a former Liberal Party aide of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said Canada will not back down from threats and called for retaliatory action. He warned America that if Donald Trump thinks he can fight us, he will have to pay the price for it.

What did Trump say?

The special thing is that Donald Trump will take oath next week. Trump has threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods imported from Canada. However, he suggested he might reconsider if Ottawa improved security at the Canada–US border. Donald Trump has also argued that Canada’s merger with the United States could lead to lower tariffs and taxes on both countries. However, top Canadian officials have denied this.

What did Trudeau say?

Notably, Justin Trudeau rejected the US idea just last week. He called Trump’s comments about Canada becoming the 51st US state a “distraction” from the economic harm higher tariffs would cause to American consumers.

Amid US-Canada tension, MP Jagmeet Singh made it clear that if Donald Trump imposes tariffs on us, then we should also impose tariffs in return. During Trump’s previous term, Ottawa imposed tariffs on American products such as bourbon, Harley Davidson motorcycles and playing cards in response to tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum.
