Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada can help usher in the “golden age” promised by U.S. President Donald Trump by providing affordable resources, but tit-for-tat retaliation is also on the table if tariffs are imposed on Canadian goods.

Trudeau presented the approach on the margins of the Liberal cabinet retreat on Jan. 21. Ministers are meeting in Montebello, Que., to strategize on the new U.S. administration.
