New Delhi, Jun 02 (ANI): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dubbed trade tariffs imposed by the United States as insulting and unacceptable. In an interview, Trudeau said that he failed to understand what Trump wanted to accomplish, The Hill reported. Underscoring that Washington DC has a USD 2 billion surplus on steel with Ottawa, the Canadian Prime Minister said, "The reason I don't know [what he wants] is because he's talked about the fact that he's worried about trade surpluses, trade deficits around the world. Well, they have a 2 billion surplus on steel with us. So it's not like trade is imbalanced against the US favor on us." Continuing his tirade against Trump, Trudeau rubbished the US president's claim that it was imposing tariffs on steel and aluminium goods of Canada in order to "protect American national security interests." Trudeau added that Canada would impose dollar for dollar tariffs on steel, aluminium and other products.
