Quebec Premier François Legault on Thursday endorsed Ottawa’s response to the latest round of U.S. tariffs, saying any retaliation must be targeted to avoid doing more damage to Canada’s economy.

Canada was “relatively spared” by U.S. President Donald Trump’s move on Wednesday to levy tariffs on most countries, Legault said, but the nation must remain “on guard.”
