Saskatchewan premier backs Ottawa's counter-tariff plan

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the federal government’s counter-tariff plan against the United States is the right move. The list covers 11 per cent of the province’s annual U.S. imports, worth $1.5 billion in goods. Ottawa’s counter-tariffs target a broad range of products, from steel and aluminum to smartphones, clothing, dairy and appliances. Moe says his government is analyzing the list’s impact on jobs and consumer prices, plus how federal relief measures could help Saskatchewan. Moe supports the approach but warns Canada must not lose sight of restoring a free and fair trading relationship with its closest neighbour.
