It is reported that Canada is considering imposing export taxes on commodities such as uranium and oil to counter Trump's tariff threat.

According to people familiar with the matter, retaliatory tariffs on goods made in the United States and export controls on some Canadian products are more likely to come first. However, these officials said that if Trump decides to launch a full-scale trade war, the commodity export tax is a practical option, which will push up the costs of American consumers, farmers and enterprises. They said that the Trudeau government may also propose to expand its export control power in the latest report on the country's financial and economic situation scheduled to be released on Monday.

"I realized that Japan must be ready for Trump to implement his plan," he said.

"Japanese companies will certainly try to restructure the supply chain," he pointed out. "This is economically reasonable." (Interface News)
