Canadian Prime Minister: If US tariffs take effect, Canada will consider all response options

On July 22, according to foreign media reports, Canadian Prime Minister Carney stated on the 21st local time that if the 50% tariff imposed by the United States on specific Canadian goods really takes effect, Canada will consider all response options.

According to reports, Carney stated on the same day that he had called US President Trump and both sides agreed to intensify trade negotiations in the coming weeks. He warned that if the United States continues to implement the latest tariff measures, 'all options are on the table'.

According to previous reports, the White House announced on the 20th that Trump signed multiple notices imposing a 50% tariff on hundreds of specific goods imported from Canada under Section 338 of the Smoot Hawley Tariff Act of 1930.

Carney subsequently issued a statement saying that the US government's announcement of plans to impose a 50% tariff on a large number of Canadian goods is the latest move in a series of unilateral trade actions that violate the US Canada Mexico agreement. Canada has put forward a series of detailed proposals to resolve its trade dispute with the United States and is preparing to further discuss them in the coming weeks. Canada will take all necessary measures to enhance its own strength.

Trump said, "I love Canada and the Canadian people, but they need us to survive." Trump also said that he is considering imposing additional tariffs on Canada due to air pollution caused by cross-border wildfire smoke.
