He says maintaining free trade between Canada and the United States would allow both economies to remain strong.

He adds American consumers and farmers will see increased costs should the tariffs be applied to oil and gas and agricultural products.

Moe has been in Washington, D.C., this week meeting with U.S. lawmakers about the harms of proposed tariffs.

Trump is planning to impose tariffs on Canadian goods next week, a move that experts say would harm Canada’s economy.
