OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians should expect to be in a trade war with the United States “for the foreseeable future.”

Trudeau made the comments during a press conference in Ottawa, the day after speaking to President Donald Trump, along with Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

Asked about the call, which was the first time Trudeau and Trump spoke since the president hit Canada with 25 per cent tariffs and Canada retaliated with equal tariffs targeting $30-billion of U.S. goods, Trudeau said it was a “colourful call.”
