Foreign Affairs Minister M茅lanie Joly will press Canada香蕉视频直播檚 case against damaging tariffs with the new U.S. secretary of state in Washington next week, after Trump repeated a demand Thursday for allies to vastly increase their military spending.

Trump is threatening to impose 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on imports from Canada starting on Feb. 1. Joly said things are still in flux because Trump hasn香蕉视频直播檛 confirmed his new commerce secretary.

香蕉视频直播淭here will be lots of rhetoric,香蕉视频直播� Joly told reporters on Parliament Hill on Thursday.

香蕉视频直播淲e will hear a lot of different versions coming from south of the border. We need to put our head down, we need to be united and we need to defend Canadian jobs.香蕉视频直播�

Joly spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for half an hour by phone Wednesday and will meet with him in person next week. She said Rubio is a 香蕉视频直播済ood interlocutor香蕉视频直播� and she香蕉视频直播檚 had 香蕉视频直播渃onstructive香蕉视频直播� discussions with him, including when they met last December before his formal confirmation.

香蕉视频直播淗e understands that not only this will have an impact on Americans, but this will have an impact on how the U.S. engages in the world, and that will have an impact geopolitically,香蕉视频直播� she said in reference to the tariff threat.

香蕉视频直播淚 also talked about the importance of standing up against China together. And Rubio himself has been very hawkish against China.香蕉视频直播�

Joly said she will meet with 香蕉视频直播渙ther key Republican senators香蕉视频直播� during her fifth visit to the U.S. since last November香蕉视频直播檚 presidential election. She said Canada will participate in Trump香蕉视频直播檚 planned review of trading practices.

She called for unity on Canada香蕉视频直播檚 trade strategy. The premiers of Alberta, Quebec and Saskatchewan have pushed back on Ottawa for floating the idea of imposing dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and cutting off energy exports.

香蕉视频直播淎lberta jobs are important as Ontario jobs, as Quebec jobs. It香蕉视频直播檚 not a competition,香蕉视频直播� Joly said.

香蕉视频直播淲e can all work together to make sure that, ultimately, we face together this existential threat against our economy.香蕉视频直播�

Also on Thursday, Trump repeated his previous calls for NATO military allies like Canada to spend five per cent of their GDP on defence 香蕉视频直播� a target that no NATO country currently meets.

In his speech to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Trump also lamented the United States香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播渢remendous deficit with Canada香蕉视频直播� in trade.

香蕉视频直播淐anada has been very tough to deal with over the years, and it香蕉视频直播檚 not fair,香蕉视频直播� he said, adding that the U.S. doesn香蕉视频直播檛 need Canadian commodities.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded by citing Ottawa香蕉视频直播檚 planned increases to military spending and said Canada is a partner to the U.S. in an unstable world.

He said Trump香蕉视频直播檚 vision for an economic boom in the U.S. will require 香蕉视频直播渕ore of the things that Canada is already sending香蕉视频直播� it, such as energy, minerals and lumber 香蕉视频直播� all of which Ottawa could block or make more expensive in response to U.S. tariffs.

香蕉视频直播淐anada will have a strong, robust response, because we don香蕉视频直播檛 want this, but we will respond if necessary,香蕉视频直播� Trudeau said.

He said the point of Canada香蕉视频直播檚 tariff strategy is 香蕉视频直播渘ot to figure out how to manage these tariffs and live with them over the long term, but to figure out how to get them removed as quickly as possible.香蕉视频直播�
