Canada still studying Trump's latest tariffs, import bans: Carney
Carney said the measures are significant for some sectors, but Canada is weighing its response as trade talks with Washington remain stalled.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed new orders banning specific Canadian imports and increasing tariffs, prompting Prime Minister Mark Carney to describe the measures as "relatively modest" compared to previous U.S. actions.
- Trade tensions escalated after negotiations reached an impasse in August, which prompted earlier U.S. levies of 50 per cent on nearly $28 billion worth of Canadian goods ranging from dairy to sports equipment.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced affected businesses will access expanded provincial support programs, while the federal government will ban U.S. goods purchases for contracts exceeding more than $5 million starting Oct. 1.
- Carney, who recently spoke with Trump, emphasized that Canada's "red lines" on sovereign trade rights and cultural protection remain fixed as his cabinet focuses on strategies to "build at home."
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, visiting New York on Thursday, expressed support for tariff-free trade but declined to criticize the Prime Minister's handling of the dispute amid broader global tensions.
