Canada 'Will Do Whatever It Takes' to Counter Trump's Tariff Threat, Carney Tells Premiers The annual summer meetings of Canada's premiers on Prince Edward Island were dominated by the latest salvo from the Trump administration: a 50% tariff threat on billions of dollars' worth of Canadian imports.
The White House claims Canadian discrimination against American motor vehicles, dairy, and alcohol prompted this move.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's promise to "do whatever it takes" to defend Canada's interests is consistent with his government's track record on trade. However, the premiers are not united in their approach.
