Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that Canada is intensifying negotiations with the United States to reach a comprehensive trade deal but is prepared to respond should President Donald Trump’s threat of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods go into effect. The new tariffs, announced by Trump on Monday, are scheduled to come into effect Aug. 19. “If these tariffs, or other measures come into force, there’s a full range of things that we can do in that regard,” Ca rney said after meeting with Canada’s premiers and territorial leaders in Charletown, Prince Edward Island.
Carney said “everything’s on the table” if an agreement can’t be reached before the tariffs kick in. “We don’t need to respond in advance,” he said. “In fact, I think it would be counterproductive at this stage to respond in advance.” About NDTV (English news channel) NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within India and around the world.
