<h1>Canada's Incoming Prime Minister Criticizes US Tariffs, Vows Retaliation to Protect Economy and National Identity.</h1> Canada's incoming prime minister criticized the US President for imposing unjustified tariffs, asserting that Canada will prevail in the trade conflict. He condemned the suggestion of Canada becoming the 51st US state, emphasizing Canada's distinct identity. The Canadian government is retaliating with tariffs aimed at the US until fair trade is established. The prime minister-elect highlighted the need for extraordinary efforts to protect Canadian values and economy. Recently, the US imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Canada to respond with similar tariffs on US imports. The leadership transition follows the resignation of the previous prime minister.
