"What I expect will be a meeting that will have some challenges," Bill Morneau told reporters on Friday on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit, a gathering of finance ministers in the Canadian ski resort town of Whistler.
He called the Trump administration's rationale for the tariffs "absurd."
The summit was supposed to be an opportunity to tout successes of the global economy, but trade disputes have cast a shadow over the gathering this weekend.
Canada, the European Union and Mexico all announced plans to retaliate after the Trump administration imposed steep tariffs on steel and aluminum on Friday.
The Canadian government on Friday took the additional step of requesting consultations with the World Trade Organization on the US "improper use" of national security to impose sweeping tariffs. The EU has filed a similar challenge.

Top 10 Canadian Stocks To Buy Right Now: Thor Industries Inc.(THO)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Garrett Baldwin] Markets are cheering a major development in efforts to fix the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China. According to Reuters, Chinese telecom giant ZTE has signed an agreement to get back into business with its American partners. The agreement will lift a ban by the U.S. Commerce Department that prevented China's No. 2 telecommunications equipment from buying from U.S. suppliers. This is a major development, and one that signals progress among trade officials from both nations. There are now more job openings in the United States than available workers. This is the first time that the Department of Labor has documented this phenomenon. There are 6.7 million openings compared to the 6.4 million workers available to fill those positions. As a result, U.S. companies have been forced to increase compensation in order to attract talent. All of the positive economic development could come to a screeching halt should the U.S. experience the largest labor strike in a decade. Reports indicate that the Teamsters and the United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) are on a collision course that could result in a general strike. The union has announced that 260,000 UPS employees have authorized a strike should both sides fail to reach a labor deal by August 1. UPS is responsible for the transport of 6% of the nation's gross domestic product. Three Stocks to Watch Today: TSLA, NOG, WFC Tesla Inc.

Another metric that bodes well for Winnebago is its total backlog; this increased by a healthy 36% compared to the prior year, to $193.1 million. That 36% increase looks even better when you consider that competitor Thor Industries (NYSE:THO) reported an 18% decline in its backlog during its recent quarterly conference call -- although Thor Industries offered an explanation for the reduction.
