Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urges consumers to buy Canadian goods as US President Donald Trump defends the imposition of tariffs, saying any pain will be “worth the price”

Canada and Mexico are set to bring in retaliatory tariffs after the US imposes 25% import taxes on goods from the two countries, as well as a 10% tax on China

China says it will implement “corresponding countermeasures”, and plans to file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization

The tariffs, which Trumps says are in response to concerns around illegal immigration and drug trafficking, will come into effect from midnight on Tuesday

International reaction is starting to pour in, as France’s industry minister Marc Ferracci says “it’s clear we have to react”
