Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland says Canada needs to release a $200 billion plan to retaliate against U.S. President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs.

Chrystia Freeland, the former finance minister who is running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister, said Monday Canada needs to release a retaliation list of goods the country would target if US President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland says she knows how to avoid punishing U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods: Scare the Americans out of the idea.

A key candidate running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister is calling for an international summit to hammer out a joint response to US President Donald Trump’s tariff and sovereignty threats.
