Foreign Affairs Minister M茅lanie Joly will press Canada91裸聊视频檚 case against damaging tariffs with the new U.S. secretary of state in Washington next week, after Trump repeated a demand Thursday for allies to vastly increase their military spending.

Trump is threatening to impose 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on imports from Canada starting on Feb. 1. Joly said things are still in flux because Trump hasn91裸聊视频檛 confirmed his new commerce secretary.

91裸聊视频淭here will be lots of rhetoric,91裸聊视频� Joly told reporters on Parliament Hill on Thursday.

91裸聊视频淲e will hear a lot of different versions coming from south of the border. We need to put our head down, we need to be united and we need to defend Canadian jobs.91裸聊视频�

Joly spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for half an hour by phone Wednesday and will meet with him in person next week. She said Rubio is a 91裸聊视频済ood interlocutor91裸聊视频� and she91裸聊视频檚 had 91裸聊视频渃onstructive91裸聊视频� discussions with him, including when they met last December before his formal confirmation.

91裸聊视频淗e understands that not only this will have an impact on Americans, but this will have an impact on how the U.S. engages in the world, and that will have an impact geopolitically,91裸聊视频� she said in reference to the tariff threat.

91裸聊视频淚 also talked about the importance of standing up against China together. And Rubio himself has been very hawkish against China.91裸聊视频�

Joly said she will meet with 91裸聊视频渙ther key Republican senators91裸聊视频� during her fifth visit to the U.S. since last November91裸聊视频檚 presidential election. She said Canada will participate in Trump91裸聊视频檚 planned review of trading practices.

She called for unity on Canada91裸聊视频檚 trade strategy. The premiers of Alberta, Quebec and Saskatchewan have pushed back on Ottawa for floating the idea of imposing dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and cutting off energy exports.

91裸聊视频淎lberta jobs are important as Ontario jobs, as Quebec jobs. It91裸聊视频檚 not a competition,91裸聊视频� Joly said.

91裸聊视频淲e can all work together to make sure that, ultimately, we face together this existential threat against our economy.91裸聊视频�

Also on Thursday, Trump repeated his previous calls for NATO military allies like Canada to spend five per cent of their GDP on defence 91裸聊视频� a target that no NATO country currently meets.

In his speech to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Trump also lamented the United States91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频渢remendous deficit with Canada91裸聊视频� in trade.

91裸聊视频淐anada has been very tough to deal with over the years, and it91裸聊视频檚 not fair,91裸聊视频� he said, adding that the U.S. doesn91裸聊视频檛 need Canadian commodities.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded by citing Ottawa91裸聊视频檚 planned increases to military spending and said Canada is a partner to the U.S. in an unstable world.

He said Trump91裸聊视频檚 vision for an economic boom in the U.S. will require 91裸聊视频渕ore of the things that Canada is already sending91裸聊视频� it, such as energy, minerals and lumber 91裸聊视频� all of which Ottawa could block or make more expensive in response to U.S. tariffs.

91裸聊视频淐anada will have a strong, robust response, because we don91裸聊视频檛 want this, but we will respond if necessary,91裸聊视频� Trudeau said.

He said the point of Canada91裸聊视频檚 tariff strategy is 91裸聊视频渘ot to figure out how to manage these tariffs and live with them over the long term, but to figure out how to get them removed as quickly as possible.91裸聊视频�
