Canada-USA News / 'The era of close relations with the US is over' - Canadian PM Carney shows his attitude

Canada-USA News: Tensions have increased in relations between the US and Canada after President Donald Trump's decision to impose heavy tariffs on Canada. Due to this decision, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has made a big statement regarding US-Canada relations. He said that the era of long-standing strong economic, security and military relations between the two countries is now over.

PM Mark Carney's statement

Prime Minister Mark Carney called the Trump administration's auto tariffs unfair and called it a violation of trade agreements. He said that Trump has permanently changed the relationship between the US and Canada. Carney clearly stated that Canada's traditional relationship with the US is now over. He said, "Our relationship was based on economy, security and military cooperation, but now this old relationship is over."

Canada's retaliation

Mark Carney also made it clear that Canada will take concrete retaliatory action against this tariff. He said, "We will take retaliatory steps under our trade policies, which will have maximum impact on the US, while it will have minimal impact on Canada." This is an indication that Canada could potentially raise tariffs in response to tariffs imposed by the US.

Impact on auto industry

This tariff decision by President Trump could cause huge losses to Canada's automobile industry. A 25% tariff has been announced on all vehicles not manufactured in the US, putting the jobs of more than 5 lakh people working in Canada's auto industry at risk. This industry plays an important role in Canada's economy, and this decision could have a direct impact on the country's economic growth.

New challenges after Trudeau

Mark Carney was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Canada on March 14, replacing Justin Trudeau. At the very beginning of his tenure, he is facing serious challenges like increasing trade tensions with the US. His stand is clear that he will take every possible step to protect Canada's interests.
