Canada will fight U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs with countermeasures, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a speech on Thursday following the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs and an additional 25% auto tariff on Canada. The recently-elected Prime Minister declared that Canada is implementing 25% tariffs on all vehicles and non-Canadian vehicle content imported from the U.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney said Wednesday he wants to speed up major natural resource project approvals — something he pitched as necessary to making Canada an "energy superpower" as he looks to expand trade ties beyond the U.

Canada's new prime minister has taken a more aggressive approach against President Trump than many other world leaders. It is showing early signs of success.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a stark message on Thursday, declaring the long-standing economic, security, and military ties between Canada-US "is over." His remarks came in response to President Donald Trump's decision to impose steep auto tariffs.

As a nation, we’ve played it too safe by relying on the United States,” Carney said. “It’s time to realize our full potential.” The remarks come in the midst of trade tensions with the U.

The Liberal Party has seen its polling surge in response to Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and the United States president's repeated assertions that Canada should join the U.S. as its 51st state. In response, some Canadian provinces have launched boycotts of U.S. goods, and the American national anthem has been booed at several sporting events.

Last month, in his first speech as Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney vowed to make the nation “a superpower in both conventional and clean energy.”The “conventional” reference could be seen as matter of course in a nation whose energy sector is still dominated by oil and gas.
