Canada’s Carney: “The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over.” NDTV reported:
The era of deep economic, security and military ties between Canada and the United States “is over,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday, after President Donald Trump announced steep auto tariffs. Trump’s planned 25 percent levy on vehicle imports to the United States is to come into force next week and could be devastating for a Canadian auto industry that supports an estimated 500,000 jobs.
After Trump’s announcement, Carney paused his campaign ahead of Canada’s April 28 election to return to Ottawa for a meeting of cabinet members working on tactics in the trade war with the United States. He called Trump’s auto tariffs “unjustified,” and said they were in breach of existing trade deals between the countries.
