🇺🇸🛢Canada could restrict its oil exports to U.S. if Trump trade war escalates
Canada could impose non-tariff measures such as restricting its oil exports to the United States or levying export duties on products if a trade dispute with the U.S. escalates further, Canada’s energy minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Tuesday.
He also raised the possibility of using non-tariff measures on critical minerals, which could force the U.S. to rely even more heavily on China.

When we are talking about non-tariff retaliation, it could be about restricting supply, it could be putting our own export duties on products. It could be energy and minerals, it could be broader than that.
