Canada's prime minister and provincial premiers are urging consumers in the country to buy domestic products instead of US goods.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday that his government will hit back against US President Donald Trump's decision to impose 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada with a duty of the same rate.

Trudeau said on social media on Sunday: "Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada. Check the labels. Let's do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford posted on the same day that starting Tuesday, the only wholesaler of alcohol in his province will "remove American products from its catalogue."

Ford said restaurants and retailers in Ontario will no longer be able to order or restock US products. The province includes Canada's capital Ottawa and key city of Toronto.

The premier of the west coast Canadian province of British Columbia, David Eby, also took action.

He told reporters on Saturday that he directed the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch to immediately stop purchasing American liquor from Republican-led "red states."

Eby said, "The Americans are bigger, but if we don't stand up for ourselves, they'll just keep coming back for more."

Trump has suggested that such moves will have little impact on the US economy.

He said Sunday on social media: "We don't need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use."

Trump added: "Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada -- AND NO TARIFFS!"

The tariffs on Canada will be in effect from Tuesday. Concerns have been raised about their impact on the global economy and rising inflation in the United States.
