B.C. could target Republican -held states as it responds to threat of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.

Minister Brenda Bailey says targeting “red states” for possible retaliatory tariffs could be one of the “strategic ways” to influence people in Trump ’s own party.

Trump said on Monday evening that he was looking at Feb. 1 as the day he plans to slap Canada and Mexico with 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs.
