Chrystia Freeland has issued a stark warning to Trump, threatening unprecedented trade repercussions, including 100% tariffs on all Teslas and a ban on Wisconsin dairy products. She is rallying affected countries to join in this retaliation, specifically targeting Trump's support base, including Wisconsin dairy farmers. Freeland's approach is reminiscent of her previous actions, such as freezing bank accounts of Canadian truckers who protested vaccine mandates.

If the US forces our hand, we will inflict the biggest trade blow they have ever endured with dollar-for-dollar retaliation. Any tariff imposed on Canada will be met with a smart and targeted response. The US tariffs are across the board and will hurt them.
For example, aluminum is basically electricity in solid form, and imposing a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum is like putting a 25% tax on electricity, which they need for the AI race with China.
Our retaliation will be surgical, targeting American stakeholders who matter to the White House. I propose a 100% tariff on all Teslas and call on other affected countries to join us. We will also target specific Trump constituencies, like Wisconsin dairy farmers, by no longer allowing them to sell their products in Canada.
