Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday Canada is ready to deliver a “purposeful, forceful but reasonable, immediate” response if U.S. President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian imports, local media reported.

According to CBC News, the prime minister, delivering remarks at a meeting of the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations in Toronto, said his country is ready for any scenario.

“It’s not what we want, but if he moves forward, we will also act,” Trudeau was quoted as saying.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Immigration Minister Marc Miller are all in the U.S. capital making a final diplomatic push to convince Republican lawmakers and Trump’s team to sway the president, said the report.

Trump is expected to announce tariffs against Canada on Saturday. Trudeau previously said Canada would push back and match the tariffs on the Canadian side dollar-for-dollar.
