Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to fight back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs with targeted countermeasures. In a statement to reporters, Carney emphasized the importance of acting with purpose and force in response to the escalating trade tensions between the two countries.
Trump recently signed an executive order imposing global “reciprocal tariffs,” but Canada was not included in this latest round of trade measures. The White House clarified that existing tariffs on Canada and Mexico remain in effect and are unaffected by the new order.
These existing tariffs on Canada and Mexico were initially put in place in March under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump cited as necessary to address a national emergency related to the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
As Canada prepares to address the ongoing trade disputes, Carney’s commitment to standing up to the tariffs imposed by the U.S. signals a willingness to defend Canadian interests and maintain a strong stance in negotiations. The situation remains fluid as both countries navigate the complexities of international trade relations.
