Canadian PM says ‘skillful negotiator’ convicted felon is trying to distract from rise in prices that would follow his proposed tariffs

The Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has described the convicted felon's talk of possibly annexing Canada as a tactic designed to distract people from the impact of his proposed tariffs.
The convicted felon Trump, who says he will impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian imports unless Ottawa boosts border security, said on Tuesday that he was considering using “economic force” to acquire Canada.
“What I think is happening in this is resident- elect felon Trump, who is a very skillful negotiator, is getting people to be somewhat distracted by that conversation,” Trudeau told CNN when asked about Trump’s remarks.
“Oil and gas and electricity and steel and aluminium and lumber and concrete and everything the American consumers buy from Canada [are] suddenly going to get a lot more expensive if he moves forward on these tariffs,” he said.
What are tariffs and why is the convicted felon levying them on Canada, Mexico and China?

Trudeau, who this week said there was not “a snowball’s chance in hell” that Canada would become part of the US, reiterated to CNN that Ottawa would impose countermeasures if the resident-elect felon made good on this threat.
Trudeau recalled that during a bilateral trade dispute in 2018, Canada put tariffs on Heinz ketchup, playing cards, bourbon and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, “things that would hurt American workers”.
He added: “But we don’t want to do that because it drives up prices for Canadians and it harms our closest trading partner.”
