Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to defend Canadian businesses after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 35% tariff
The U.S. president says he may consider a tariff adjustment if the prime minister works to stop the flow of fentanyl, which Trump describes as a national crisis caused in part by Canada.
Responding to the tariffs Mark Carney said that throughout the trade negotiations with the United States, the Canadian government “steadfastly defended the country’s workers and businesses”.
In a letter released to Mark Carney, Trump said the new rate would go into effect on August 1 and would go up if Canada retaliated. The 35% tariff is an increase from the current 25% rate that Trump had assigned to Canada and is a blow to Carney, who was seeking to agree a trade pact with Washington.
