How Canadian leaders are responding to Trump’s new tariffs: ‘We’ve had enough’
Trump’s order targets products from hockey sticks to cement and takes effect in 30 days, while Canadian leaders say they will defend workers and businesses.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday imposing a 50% tariff on various Canadian products, effective in 30 days. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated the levies respond to provincial bans on U.S. liquor and supply-managed dairy.
- Describing the move as a violation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement , Prime Minister Mark Carney asserted Canada has 'merely matched those measures.' He remains ready to intensify negotiations in the coming weeks.
- The executive order excludes energy, potash, fish, and critical minerals, but includes items like 'hockey sticks, wine and cement.' A senior White House official confirmed the duties will have no exemptions for goods compliant under CUSMA.
- Following the announcement, Carney ordered the removal of a friendship statement from the U.S. 250th birthday website, marking symbolic escalation. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe called the threats 'unjustified,' warning they will drive up prices and kill jobs.
- Conservative MPs Shuvaloy Majumdar, Eric Duncan, Stephanie Kusie, and Pierre Paul-Hus labeled the measures 'latest unjustified U.S. tariffs,' accusing Carney of failing to secure trade deals. The 30-day window provides potential for diplomatic de-escalation.
