A government official says Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.

The president-elect said that he would impose the across-the-board tariffs on Day 1 and that they would stay in place until Canada, Mexico and China halted the flow of drugs and migrants.

One of the biggest consequences of a tariff on imports from Canada would be pricier lumber, though traders haven't flinched at Donald Trump's threat of 25% tariffs on goods that cross the northern border.
