TORONTO (AP) — A senior official says Canada is looking at putting retaliatory tariffs on American orange juice, sinks, toilets and some steel products if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump goes ahead with his threat to impose 25% on all Canadian products.

Trump said this week he will use economic coercion to pressure Canada to become the nation’s 51st state.
