TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that Canada will match U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25% auto tariffs with a tariff on vehicles imported from the United States.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada will match US President Donald Trump’s 25% car tariffs with a tariff on vehicles imported from the United States. Mr Trump’s previously announced 25% tariffs on car imports took effect on Thursday.

President Trump said that he was placing 25% tariffs on auto imports and, to underscore his intention, he stated, "This is permanent."

Mark Carney said new US tariffs on cars and light trucks are a “direct attack” on workers in Canada’s auto sector, as he faces what will be his first major trade war decision since becoming prime minister.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that President Trump’s “unjustified” 25% tariff on imported automobiles and some auto parts will damage the country’s economy..

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will match U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25 per cent auto tariffs with a levy on vehicles imported from the United States. Carney says the tariffs will hit all vehicles that do not comply with the Canada-U.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Americans will experience "damage" and "pain," during a Thursday announcementthat his country will impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. vehicle imports in response to President Donald Trump's newly implemented 25 percent auto tariffs.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney is once again pausing his campaign in the federal election to head back to Ottawa ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's expected Wednesday announcement of widespread tariffs.
