面对这一威胁，特鲁多在魁北克省蒙特贝洛的内阁会议上表示：“我们的回应将是迅速、果断且强有力的。目标是尽快取消这些关税。” 特鲁多强调，加拿大仍希望避免贸易战，但如果关税生效，“一切选项都摆在桌面上。” 特鲁多称，加拿大将以“一加元对一美元”«dollar pour dollar»的等值进口关税对美国商品作出回应。
特朗普的贸易保护主义政策和能源战略调整，将对加拿大经济、商业和政策制定带来广泛影响。离2月1日的关税实施还有10天时间，相信加拿大会在这10天内抓紧最后的谈判机会。 有一加拿大网友的高赞评论，乐活君觉得说的挺有道理： Trump has clearly declared that he would take over Canada with 'economic force'. He has also declared that the U.S. wants Greenland and also wants to take back the Panama Canal. I see no reason to not believe what he says. He is on a 'Go Big or Go Home' path right now' and Canada's resources are part of the plan. I believe Canada is under it's greatest threat since Confederation at the moment and we don't even have a functioning government or Prime Minister. We have one level headed premier who believes diplomacy is the road to a win/win. The rest of them want to battle it out like schoolyard children. Canadians who want to save Canada should be supporting Danielle Smith's efforts and approach. 面对特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”，加拿大如何应对？如何“让加拿大再次伟大”？
