'Let’s knock down those tariffs,' says Canada's Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre
Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, joined 'Squawk Box' to discuss the escalating trade dispute between the United States and Canada. Poilievre called for a return to tariff-free trade, arguing that it would lower costs for consumers and boost jobs on both sides of the border. He emphasized that Canada's mission is to fight the tariffs and restore a beneficial trade relationship.
The ongoing trade war has significant implications for the economies of both Canada and the United States, affecting consumer prices, job growth, and cross-border investment.
The discussion also touched on Canada's lagging GDP growth, the role of natural resources and entrepreneurship, and the need for regulatory and tax reforms.
