Business groups say Canada needs to plan differently to deal with Trump's second term

OTTAWA — Donald Trump's mandate to get tough on trade is expected to be stronger in his second term as U.S. president, posing different challenges for Canada than his first four years in the White House.

He said the president-elect has a strong endorsement from the American public for his tough-on-trade platform that includes a promise to impose 10-to-20-per-cent tariffs on all goods flowing into the United States. Last February, Trump said he would not defend a NATO member that is failing to spending the agreed-upon amount on defence, suggesting he would encourage Russia to do"whatever the hell they want" to those countries.

"The tariff man is back," Tapp said."This is going to be terrifying for Canadian exporters and probably for Canadian policymakers to wrap their heads around how to deal with Trump in a second term."
