Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau slammed tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump - describing them as a "very dumb thing to do."

"Today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same, they are talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense," Trudeau said.

"Now, it's not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal, but Donald, they point out that even though you're a smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world to see."

Trudeau's comments come after Trump launched a trade war against America's three biggest trading partners in Canada, China and Mexico. Canada and Mexico face 25% tariffs on their goods, while China will be levied 20% on imports.

Of course Trudeau is going to say the tariffs are dumb. Canada’s economy is going to be hurting. It’s why they are freaking out and making threats.

Canadians will feel the effects of the tariffs a lot quicker than the American people.
