Responding to the questions about the tariffs imposed by America, he said –
“What Canada will be looking to do is to diversify our trading relationships with like-minded countries, and there are opportunities to rebuild the relationship with India.”
“Americans should make no mistake,” he said. “In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win.”
