The premier is holding a news Sunday where he’s expected to share more details on what measures the province is taking in reaction to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is holding a news conference at 1 p.m. on Sunday where he’s expected to share more details on what measures the province is taking in reaction to a trade war between Canada and the U.S. 

Kinew said Saturday that he fully supports the federal government’s response against U.S. President Donald Trump imposing a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all Canadian goods, which will begin this week Tuesday. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced late Saturday the federal government will fight back against Trump by slapping 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion worth of American goods coming into Canada as of Tuesday.

The tariffs will then be applied to another $125 billion worth of American imports in three weeks’ time, Trudeau said.

More to come.
