Prime Minister Mark Carney showed no signs of retaliating against U.S. President Donald Trump’s increased tariffs — and even suggested he’s open to removing existing tariffs if it would help Canadian industries.
Carney faced questions Tuesday about Canada’s next steps after the two countries failed to reach a trade deal by the Aug. 1 deadline, resulting in a 35 per cent import tax on some Canadian goods. The rate applies to goods not covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which governs trade between the three countries.
