Trudeau ‘played chicken’ with US and delays cost us: Hoback
Prince Albert MP, Conservative Randy Hoback, says the Trudeau government delayed for too long on trade negotiations with the US, “played chicken” with President Trump, and claims that shows in the new deal.
He was speaking to the uncertainty for the dairy sector and ongoing tariffs on steel and aluminium that were not addressed in the new USMCA trade deal announced late Sunday, which also includes Mexico.
“They [the Liberals] have been dragging their feet, not making decisions and that has cost Canadian businesses and industry a lot of money while they did that,” he told paNOW.
He added Canada had major investments waiting on the sidelines for the last 18 months while waiting for a negotiated deal.
