Trudeau said negotiations are ongoing to secure some form of tariff relief for certain sectors, but warned there's no sign that Trump is willing to drop his levies entirely and it's likely a trade dispute will continue "for the foreseeable future."
Trudeau said there are ongoing discussions to have all of the tariffs dropped until April 2, when Trump is expected to impose another layer of retaliatory tariffs on all countries he claims are ripping off the U.S. But those talks have not been finalized and Trudeau said he was reluctant to comment until there is something concrete to announce.
The prime minister acknowledged that the 50-minute conversation between the two men on Wednesday was heated, but said it was a "substantive" call and that there could be a resolution to these issues, at least in the short term.
But Trudeau said over the longer term, Trump seems committed to tariffs.
"We will continue to be in a trade war that was launched for the U.S. for the foreseeable future," he said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking at a child-care announcement on Thursday in Ottawa, was asked to describe his recent call with U.S. President Donald Trump about tariffs. Trudeau, who didn't provide specifics, stressed that conversations are ongoing and reiterated that Canada is focusing on how to help people cope while the levies are in place.
While Trump considers what to do with Canada, he cut a deal with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Thursday to exempt products from her country for at least a month.
Before that announcement, Howard Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary, told CNBC on Thursday morning that the president is weighing dropping all Canadian and Mexican tariffs until April.
Lutnick made those comments as stock market indices were plunging again today amid mounting investor fears Trump could throw the economy off the rails with his trade actions.
"It's likely that it will cover all USMCA compliant goods and services, so that which is part of President Trump's deal with Canada and Mexico are likely to get an exemption from these tariffs," Lutnick said, referring to the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement that's called CUSMA in Canada.
"The reprieve is for one month," he said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking in Ottawa on Thursday, said the federal government is focused on ‘reducing the impacts of the tariffs’ but that Canada will continue to be in a trade war started by the United States for ‘the foreseeable future.’
But Lutnick has said things over the last month that don't pan out or have been proven wrong.
In that same interview with CNBC, for example, Lutnick claimed car manufacturers moved factories to Canada because there were no labour unions in this country — a patently false assertion.
And Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said yesterday it's Trump who will make the final call on any trade-related matters — not Lutnick.
New details about Trudeau-Trump call
A senior government official told CBC News that Trump used profanity more than once while discussing dairy products on Wednesday's call, a longtime trade irritant for the U.S. Trudeau did not use profanity, the official said.
Trump also became animated when discussing fentanyl, the official said.
Trudeau stressed that the U.S. government's own border seizure data shows Canada is not much of a problem and that the country is doing all it can to tamp down on the drug, the official said.
The government official said Trump and Vice-President JD Vance, who was also on the call, then pushed back hard on Trudeau's defence, saying seizures is not the right way to measure this problem. Trudeau said there's no other way to actually quantify the problem, the official said.
The official said the Trump call did end in a somewhat friendly manner, as Trump said on social media. The leaders agreed their officials should discuss the possibility of Trump exempting all CUSMA-compliant products from tariffs and what Canada might be willing to offer in return.

The first phone call in weeks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did little to end the U.S.-Canada trade war, as defiant federal and provincial leaders demanded an end to U.S. tariffs.
In his news conference today, Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.
"Our goal is to get all tariffs removed," he said.
Canada has a strong hand to play in these negotiations — the U.S. needs the products the country sells and there's tremendous resolve in Canada to hold firm in the face of Trump's aggression, he said.
"We are in a moment right now where Canada has a very, very strong bargaining position, because Canadians are so united and unequivocal about standing up for our country and standing up for our fellow citizens and being very firm that this is an unjustified and unjustifiable trade war launched by the Americans," he said.

Patience is a virtue.
The token retaliatory tariffs those countries have imposed are less than the US has imposed and all this will hurt them more in the long run.
The short game here means nothing.
Here's a clue:
Trump and TSMC announce $100 billion plan to build five new US factories

Another example of the well-known leftist trait whereby if someone has a different opinion than you or supports something or someone they don't like, they immediately go on the attack and start flinging insults.
You guys never fail to live up to that reputation! Lol!
ps keep it up...it helps us win elections!
I'm showing you $1 Billy is no problem for Canada. We actually needed to invest because of all the drugs and guns coming from America.
It's something we've been offering since November. It's not even a negotiation.
I live in the middle of the GTA, WTF would I care about buying beer in another province for? You'll just say anything at this point. Putin has you so fooled that you are happy to tax yourself.
Mitchy, give me a laugh for this fool.
Believe a Con man.
What happened here?
Foxconn mostly abandons $10 billion Wisconsin project touted by Trump
This guy really said patience.That's conman lingo right there.

Yes I do. I believe Trudeau is kicking himself for calling his resignation when he did. If only this tariff crisis happed before I pulled the pin so I could exploit it like Doug just did to get re-elected-only I'd use it as an excuse not to have an election because "Canada(the Libs)" need to focus on fighting this tariff war. I truly believe he would have done that.
I believe Trudeau has thought about using this as an excuse to cancel the Liberal leadership race as well. Trump obviously thinks that too. Trump calling it out publicly throws a wrench in his gears because that would mean Trump was right if Trudeau decides to un-resign.
Why are you so fixated on the amount and not the fact that they spent money they were not intending on spending while Trump spent nothing?I'm showing you $1 Billy is no problem for Canada. We actually needed to invest because of all the drugs and guns coming from America.
It's something we've been offering since November. It's not even a negotiation.

It was an example...buying beer from another province comes with a form of tariffs...within the same country...but you guys crying about the US imposing tariffs????
You didn't know that did you?
All that crying about tariffs and you didn't even realize Canada puts tariffs on itself and no one cries over that?
OMFG
That's rock and a hard place for him...Carney has better chance vs. Peepee...this is the only "high note" exit he has...
First of all, Mitch and I are helping society by curing TDS wherever we encounter it. We help the unhinged as challenging as that might be in some cases. We consider it an act of good will and would never charge anyone to help them. Yourself included.Believe a Con man.
What happened here?

Foxconn bailed on that project because Trump didn't win the election so they continued to screw the US knowing that Biden would not stand up to them and continue to get screwed on trade.
Things will be different this term and you'll see more and more companies setting up factories in the US over the next few years.
Stop focusing on the short game. It makes you look silly.
Why is it so hard to buy booze from another province? Blame trade barriers - National | Globalnews.ca
Some experts say one sector in which Canada’s interprovincial trade barriers are most evident is the sale and purchase of alcohol across provincial lines.
