Carney vows action as Canada prepares response to Trump’s 50 percent tariffs

Provinces, federal government push united front as Trump targets $28B in exports

Carney's comments come after he met his provincial and territorial counterparts on Thursday to discuss a response after the Trump administration announced new 50% tariffs on some C$20bn of Canadian imports.

Trump threatened on Monday to impose new 50% tariffs ‌on $20 billion worth of Canadian products.

It’s presenting a unity test for Team Canada over how to respond, with Prime Minister Mark Carney facing increasing pressure to lay out the case for how he will nail down a trade deal with the United States before this new slate of tariffs goes into effect on Canadian exports ranging from wine and honey to textiles, fishing rods, jewelry and furniture.
