Hey everyone! Did you hear the news? Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Melanie Joly, has something important to say about trading with the United States! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
So, recently, there’s been talk about the US possibly adding big taxes, called tariffs, on goods coming from Canada. A tariff is like an extra fee on things when they cross borders. This could make Canadian products more expensive in the US.
Minister Joly said that “everything is on the table” when it comes to how Canada might respond. This means Canada is thinking about all the different ways it can protect its businesses and people. She might even consider cutting off energy exports to the US! 💡
She’s planning to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc to chat about what Canada should do next. They’re also going to talk with leaders from different provinces in Canada. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🤝
Minister Joly believes that now is the time for all Canadian leaders to come together. She said, “This is not time for division. This is not time for weakness. This is a time of strength and unity.” 💪❤️
She’s also going to visit Washington, D.C., to talk with important people in the US government about this issue. Local news says Canada is getting ready a list of American goods they might put tariffs on if the US moves forward with their own tariffs.
It’s like a big game of chess between two friends figuring out the best moves! Let’s hope they find a way to keep everything friendly and fair! 😊
