Hours after the United States President Donald Trump announced “permanent” 25 % of automotive imports-a-second largest export business in Canada-Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described this as “direct attack” on Earth.
“It’s a very direct attack,” Mark Carney replied. “We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country.”
However, the Canadian Prime Minister has not announced any retaliation against the US, but stated that he must see details of a executive order imposing 25 % of the automatic import tariff.
Mark Carney called this unauthorized and said he would leave the election campaign on Thursday to go to Ottawa to chair his special cabinet committee for American relations.
Automatic tariffs are not the first Donald Trump, the US President previously deposited 25 % of the steel and Canada aluminum tariffs. He also threatened tariffs on all Canadian products and promoted a neighbor to create 51. State in America.
Carney previously announced the “strategic reaction” fund of 2 billion Ca ($ 1.4 billion), which will protect Canadian automatic jobs affected by trump tariffs.
The Prime Minister also noted that the sector employs 125,000 Canadians directly and almost another 500,000 in the related sectors.
“Canada will be there for car workers,” he said.
Donald Trump previously granted a monthly exception of his hard new tariffs for imports from Mexico and Canada for American automakers.
The President plunged the US into a global trade war-all that reappears is new new fees still escalate uncertainty.
“His trade war hurts American consumers and workers and it will hurt more. I see that US confidence of consumers is at a multi -year minimum,” Carney said earlier in the Windsor campaign.
Individual taxes on car imports starting in April means that automotive manufacturers can face higher costs and lower sales.
