New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt urged unity as the country faces tariffs on exports to the United States imposed by President Donald Trump.

On Saturday, the Trump administration announced a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian exports would come into effect this Tuesday. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded shortly after by announcing a 25 per cent tariff on American exports into Canada.

“It is time for Canada to stand strong and united against the threat of tariffs,” Holt said in a statement posted to Facebook after a first ministers’ meeting Saturday evening.

She said her team will “will use every tool in our toolbox to defend and support New Brunswickers and put an end to these tariffs.” But Holt didn’t say what those measures might be.

In Nova Scotia, Premier Tim Houston announced Saturday night that the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation would remove American alcohol from its store shelves. Houston also announced increased tolls on U.S. commercial vehicles using the Cobequid Pass.

Holt said New Brunswick needs to “buy local, and get to work seizing the opportunities we have across New Brunswick and our country.”
