A strong response came from Ottawa to U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of a 100% tariff on Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that his country would not compromise its economic independence.
TENSIONS ESCALATE
Trump's statements suggesting that a 100% additional tariff could be applied to products imported from Canada have escalated trade tensions between the two countries, while the Canadian government has adopted a defiant stance against this threat.
WE WILL NOT BOW TO ECONOMIC PRESSURE
Standing before the cameras, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called on the public to support domestic production, stating that they would not yield to U.S. pressures. In his statement,
he emphasized economic solidarity and national production with the words, "We buy Canadian products and we produce Canadian products."
Carney's remarks were seen as part of Canada's strategy to strengthen the domestic market and promote local production in the face of a potential trade war. Experts indicate that the mutual harsh statements signal a new period of tension in North American trade.
