Canada Responds to US Tariff Decision: 'Unilateral Trade Action'

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has strongly responded to the US decision to impose a 50% tariff on certain Canadian imports. Carney described this move as a 'unilateral trade action' and noted that it includes tariffs on the Canadian automotive sector, which he claims violates the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Canada has presented comprehensive proposals for resolving trade disputes and updating CUSMA. Carney emphasized his country's commitment to free and fair trade principles and stated that all necessary measures will be taken to protect Canadian workers, farmers, businesses, and families.
