TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada laid out over $100 billion in retaliatory tariffs against the United States late Saturday, in a forceful response to President Donald Trump’s decision to impose levies on a range of Canadian goods. But he made clear that Canada was doing so reluctantly.

“We don’t want to be here,” Trudeau said in a somber televised address from Ottawa, Ontario, that evoked the deep bonds between the two neighbors and close trading partners. “We didn’t ask for this.”

Trudeau spoke hours after Trump hit Canada and Mexico with tariffs of 25% on all goods, with a partial carve out for Canadian energy and oil exports. Trudeau said that Canada would swiftly impose its own “far-reaching” retaliatory tariffs of 25% on $106 billion worth of U.S. goods. Initial tariffs worth CA$30 billion will start Tuesday, when the U.S. tariffs go into effect, Trudeau said. That will be followed by tariffs on CA$125 billion worth of goods in the next three weeks, a delay he said would allow Canadian businesses to prepare.
