US EditionCarney to meet with cabinet, premiers to discuss latest U.S. tariffs
CANADA, AUG 6 – Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers discuss strategies to mitigate U.S. tariffs raised to 35% on non-CUSMA Canadian exports while aiming to protect domestic industries.
- Amid growing trade tensions, Prime Minister Mark Carney is convening today with his cabinet and the premiers to discuss U.S. tariffs, less than a week after their imposition.
- This escalation follows the Aug. 1 tariff increase by the Trump administration, which took effect after the countries missed the August 1 deadline for a new trade agreement.
- Sector analyses reveal US tariffs include 50% duties on steel, aluminum, copper, and extend to vehicles imported from Asia and Europe, impacting Canadian industries.
- So far, Canada has held off any retaliatory action since the increase, with Mr. Carney telling reporters on Tuesday that the aim is to minimize impact on domestic industry.
- Looking ahead, Canadian negotiators may shift focus to tariff-rate quotas as U.S. negotiators support sector-specific stability measures, unless a breakthrough occurs soon.
