U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to implement reciprocal tariffs on several countries, and confirmed 25 per cent tariffs on all foreign-made automobiles are coming into effect as of midnight.
CTV News is awaiting confirmation about an exemption for Canada, however there are multiple reports that Canada is exempt from the 10 per cent baseline tariff on other countries that Trump also announced Wednesday.
“Reciprocal. That means they do it to us and we do it to them,” Trump said. “Very simple. Can’t get any simpler than that.”
“It’s our declaration of economic independence,” the president also said, before continuing to address the crowd while holding a chart listing the tariffs other countries have in place on American products.
Canada was not listed on the board.
Trump is for his nation and fellow citizens. Carney is a carpetbagging globalist shill.

More Brookfield business entities registered to Bermuda building that houses bike shop
Several entities of global investment giant Brookfield Asset Management’s core business are registered to an address in Bermuda that also houses a local bike shop, CTV News has learned.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney previously served as chair of Brookfield’s board, from August of 2022 until mid-January of this year, when he resigned to run for the party leadership.
Last week, Radio Canada reported that two Brookfield pension funds, worth a combined $25 billion, were registered in Bermuda.
