Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that United States President Donald Trump's announcement today of 25% tariffs on all automobiles made outside the US is a "direct attack" on Canadian workers.
"This will hurt us, but through this period, by being together, we will emerge stronger," Carney said during a press conference, adding that Trump's move is "entirely unjustified and entirely inconsistent."
"If it is appropriate for retaliatory tariffs... We will take the steps that are in the interests of Canadian workers," Carney said.
