Billionaire financier Howard Lutnick says tariffs on Canada and Mexico would be an emergency measure to achieve border security.

He said he prefers tariffs on entire countries, rather than on specific products.

Canadian officials remain focused on thwarting the immediate tariff threat.

Canada 's foreign affairs minister is back in Washington , D.C. , to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio .

Ford has said the winter snap election is needed to get a strong mandate to push back on Trump ’s threats.

Opposition parties say Ford is trying to capitalize on good polling numbers.

Ford stuck to his justification Wednesday , saying duties are “a game to the president”.
