The Liberal Party welcomes the Candian Government’s robust response to the imposition of trade tariffs by the US Government.
Canadian Prime Minister James Carney has shown considerable patience when dealing with an increasingly irrational and spiteful US President who sees almost all aspects of international diplomacy and trade in transactional terms favourable to the US only.
We believe that the international community should come together to promote free trade.
Global surpluses of goods and services can be redirected between trading nations to reduce their dependency on the US and to ensure frictionless trade.
Having alienated the rest of the free trading world, the US will be faced with the reality of having to find trading partners inclined to deal with its confrontational and ungrateful temperament and the reality of the limited availability of commodities.
