OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will consider every kind of countermeasure if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump goes ahead with a threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday.

Trump's proposed move would be crippling for the economy, given Canada sends 75% of all goods and services exports to the United States.
