WASHINGTON \u2014 A trio of federal cabinet ministers is in Washington today making a last-ditch attempt to stop U.S. President Donald Trump from imposing economically devastating tariffs on Canadian imports.<\/p>\n

Foreign Affairs Minister M\u00e9lanie Joly, Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Immigration Minister Marc Miller are all in the U.S. capital, making a final diplomatic push to convince Republican lawmakers and Trump\u2019s team to sway the president.<\/p>\n

Trump has signalled he\u2019s prepared to slap 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports as early as Saturday.<\/p>\n

Trump initially claimed his 25 per cent tariff threat was in response to a failure by Canada and Mexico to curb the illegal flow of people and drugs across the border.<\/p>\n

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc sent a video Thursday describing Canada\u2019s border security efforts to Trump\u2019s nominee for commerce secretary.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says if the U.S. does move ahead with tariffs, Canada will respond quickly, and says every option is on the table.<\/p>\n
