Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday that some cars imported from the United States were deposited on Thursday by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday.
Trump’s previously announced 25% of car imports came into force on Thursday.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced “25 percent of tariffs on all vehicles imported from the United States that are not in line with the Cusma”, using the Canadian abbreviation for the existing free trade agreement in North America.
However, Carney immediately did not provide details of how many vehicles could be affected by Canada’s retaliation.
Carney’s announcement comes as President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on US imports caused the threats of retaliation.
The Canadian Prime Minister said he told Trump last week in a phone call that he would be retaliatory for these tariffs.
“We take these measures reluctantly. And we take them in a way that intends and causes maximum impact in the United States and a minimum impact in Canada,” Carney said.
Carney said that Canada did not give the car tariffs, as Trump did because he said that Canadians knew the benefits of the integrated automotive sector. Parts can walk several times across the Canada-USA border before they are fully collected in Ontario or Michigan.
Canadians already see the impact, the Prime Minister added.
The former double central banker said that Trump’s actions would be heard in Canada and worldwide. “They are all unjustified and unfounded and misleading according to our judgment,” Carney said.
Meanwhile, the conservative leader Pierre Péilievre has committed to removing a federal turnover tax on new Canadian cars. The conservative leader also calls on provincial governments to follow the action in removal of turnover taxes, Bloomberg said.
Trump said he would impose a 10% basic tariff on all imports into the United States and higher targeted duties on some of the largest business partners in the country, hammering goods from Italian coffee and Japanese whiskey to sportswear in Asia.
