Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Ottawa’s retaliation against the U.S. after President Donald Trump’s administration imposed sweeping import tariffs on Canada on Saturday. Here’s a look back at the fast-moving events of the day.

CTV News’ chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos says Canada was notified this morning by the U.S. that China, Mexico and Canada will be subject to tariffs: 25 per cent across the board with the exception of energy, which will be 10 per cent.

It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a Canadian response at 6 p.m. ET tonight.

A senior government source tells CTV News that Ottawa is expecting something formal at 2 p.m. EST. Cabinet is set to meet at 3 p.m. EST.

    Trump just killed the N. American auto industry. You can’t remake all the supply chain lines overnight. Some parts cross the border multiple times, meaning way more than a 25% tariff in the end. Asian car companies are going to take over.
