On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a minimum 10 per cent baseline tariff on imports from most countries, not including Canada and Mexico.
However, in an announcement on Thursday morning, Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada is imposing counter-tariffs that will match Trump’s tariffs on vehicles while trying to incentivize automakers to stay put and promising more aid for auto workers.
Carney said Canada will respond by matching the U.S. approach, with 25 per cent tariffs on all vehicles imported from the United States that are not compliant with the CUSMA free trade agreement and on the non-Canadian content of CUSMA-compliant vehicles from the United States.
“We must respond with both purpose and force. We are a free, sovereign, and ambitious country. We are masters in our own home,” Carney said.
Carney said that Trump’s tariffs will fundamentally change the global trading system.
This story will be updated following Eby’s availability at 12:15 p.m.
