00:00Minister, you said this morning that the Canadian, all these governments would do whatever it takes to defend and support
00:05our families, our business, etc.
00:07And I'd like to hear some, after three hours of meeting, some specifics, counter tariffs are a possibility, and so
00:12on, if you could provide some specifics.
00:14And then two, let's say you get this deal, CUSMA 2, with the President of the United States,
00:19you're going to have to convince a lot of Canadians skeptical of the trustworthiness of the President that, no, no,
00:25this time he means it.
00:26He'll keep his word, this time, on CUSMA 2.
00:30How will you explain that the President can be trusted when he signs a document with your name on it?
00:39In terms of doing whatever it takes, there's multiple aspects of that.
00:44First, and I won't repeat the whole element of, but it's building the economy and support.
00:50Like, that's fundamental. It's diversifying our trade relations, it's all that.
00:54Secondly, it is helping those sectors that are affected directly by the tariffs with financial support, supporting their workers,
01:07reorienting demand for some of their products where that's possible, providing some level of trade protection.
01:19The third is responding, if there is, if these tariffs or other measures come into force.
01:28Nuju Damilis, Bloomberg News.
01:29Prime Minister, earlier this week you said that President Trump and yourself agreed to intensify trade talks.
01:35Did the President signal to you a willingness to drop the latest tariffs if you reach a deal before August
01:4219th?
01:46Well, we are in negotiations for adjustments in all the tariffs and trade measures with the United States.
01:54So, yeah.
