<p>Given the ongoing shakeup, the premier predicts that Quebec's economy "will be completely different from what it is today" in one to two years. Earlier, in an <a href="https://www.journaldequebec.com/2025/03/03/tarifs-de-25-sur-les-produits-canadiens--legault-promet-de-laide-et-une-riposte-rapide" target="_blank">LCN interview</a> , the head of government said that "If Mr. Trump does this for four years, we will have to completely review the economy of Quebec."</p><p>Despite the concerns, though, Legault suggested that Quebec may have some leverage and that Trump won't follow through with his "25%" figure. </p><p>"I don't think it's going to be 25%, because we have products he can't do without," he told Roy, pointing to examples like wood, electricity and aluminum.</p><p>When asked whether Quebec would follow Ontario’s lead in cutting electricity exports to the United States, Legault emphasized that "nothing should be ruled out."</p><p>"I agree with Doug Ford," he said. "Donald Trump must be made to pay the price for decisions that do not make sense."</p><p>Back in February, Canada's provincial and federal governments prepared a major response to Trump's threats: counter-tariffs on $30 billion worth of products from the United States on day 1 of the American surtax coming into effect. If the Trump administration holds its ground and does not change its tune, a second wave of tariffs will be imposed, this time on the equivalent of $125 billion worth of U.S. goods.</p><em>Love this?
