People in Prince Edward Island’s beef industry have told American politicians face to face that they are worried about Donald Trump’s impending tariff on imports from Canada

 CBC News

The U.S. president-elect is promising to slap a 25 per cent tariff on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico on Jan. 20, his first day in office, unless the countries curb the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders.

Russ Mallard was part of a Canadian delegation who went to Washington in December to express Canadian concerns to Republican members of the Senate and chair of the agriculture committee for the House of Representatives.

 “We had a chance to express our concerns about how it would affect not only our industries here, but also their industries there and their consumers there”
