Canadian PM calls for "Buy Canadian" in response to Trump's new tariff threat

Carney rejected Trump's assertion while noting that over 75% of Canadian exports depend on the U.S. amid rising trade tensions and tariffs on key sectors.

  • On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum in Davos warned of a rupture in the rules-based order and later rejected President Donald Trump's claim about Canadian dependence in Quebec City.
  • Amid trade dependence, Canada faces rising pressure from U.S. tariff moves that have hit auto, aluminum and steel sectors, while Trump recently threatened annexation and posted an image covering Canada with the U.S. flag.
  • With exchanges escalating, President Donald Trump taunted Mark Carney on Wednesday and withdrew Canada's invitation to the Board of Peace on Thursday via Truth Social, while a government source said Canada would not pay to join.
  • The U.S. stance on access to Canadian products could have sweeping consequences as North American free trade agreement negotiations are set for the start of this year, amplifying risks for auto, aluminum and steel sectors.
  • Carney framed Canada's role as a model amid redefined alliances, warning middle powers that compliance won't shield them from major-power aggression amid global democratic decline.
