Canada will retaliate against the tariffs imposed by President Trump, set to take effect on April 2, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney's office. In a statement from the PMO, it was revealed that Trump and Carney agreed to initiate talks on a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election during a phone call today. Carney informed the president that he would work diligently next month to secure the mandate to lead Canada in addressing these matters.
The Prime Minister also informed Trump that his government would implement retaliatory tariffs to safeguard Canadian workers and the economy once the US tariffs are enforced.
This shift in Carney's stance follows his earlier statement yesterday, in which he declared that Canada’s previous relationship with the US was over. Carney also confirmed that today's conversation with Trump occurred in a positive and constructive atmosphere.
