Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, confirmed that his country will win in the trade confrontation with the United States, following the imposition of new tariffs on Canadian imports by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney's Statements:

Confidence in Victory: Carney said, “We will win this trade war,” emphasizing that Canada will take all necessary measures to protect its economic interests.

Countermeasures: Carney announced a 25% tariff on cars imported from the United States that do not comply with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), stressing that every dollar collected from these tariffs will be directed directly to support workers and companies in the Canadian automotive sector.

Background:

These statements come after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imposition of a comprehensive 10% tariff on most imports, in addition to specific tariffs on some countries, including Canada.

Canada seeks, through these measures, to protect its economy and respond firmly to U.S. trade policies that it considers unjustified.
