In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada must “fundamentally reimagine our economy” in the face of escalating tariffs imposed by U.S.. He added that the “old relationship” between Canada and the U.S. is “over.” Carney promised to bring retaliatory measures, reduce internal trade barriers and pivot Canada’s economy away from reliance on the U.S., after Trump announced new auto tariffs that will begin next week.
Mark Carney says Canada cannot rely on U.S. any longer and must achieve ‘economic autonomy’… and that era of close ties with US ‘is over’

On Wednesday, Carney called the latest round of tariffs a “very direct attack.”
“I reject any attempts to weaken Canada, to wear us down, to break us so that America can own us. That will never happen,” Carney said.
“Our response to these latest tariffs is to fight, to protect, and to build.”
“What exactly the United States does next is unclear, but what is clear, what is clear is that we as Canadians have agency. We have power. We are masters in our own home,” Carney said.
“We can control our destiny. We can give ourselves much more than any foreign government, including the United States, can ever take away. We can deal with this crisis best by building our own strength right here at home.”
“We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country,” he said at the time.
Last week, Carney traveled to France and met with French President Emmanuel Macron. During a joint press conference, Carney described Canada as “the most European of non-European countries,” and said he wants to make sure that “France and the whole of Europe work enthusiastically with Canada.” After France, Carney traveled to the U.K. and met with the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the country’s monarch, King Charles, who is also Canada’s head of state. During a press conference in London, Carney criticized Trump’s comments about making Canada the 51st state, saying: “They’re disrespectful, they’re not helpful and they need to stop before any conversation about our broader partnership with the United States.”
Right after Carney’s “pretentious but still somewhat heroic” rhetoric, the Orange Sultan immediately fires back ferociously…
Trump says larger tariffs could be imposed on Canada, EU if they cause US ‘economic harm’
Trump Threatens Europe and Canada if They Band Together Against U.S.
President Donald Trump warned said in a middle-of-the-night social media post early Thursday that he will impose additional tariffs against both Canada and the European Union if they collaborate in any manner that causes economic harm to the U.S., a threat that comes days, opening a new front in the unfolding trade war after the new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, traveled to France and the U.K.
President Trump announces 25% tariffs on all cars not made in the USA. “In addition to spurring increased domestic manufacturing of cars and trucks, we expect that these tariffs will result in over $100 billion of new annual revenue.”

“If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!” Mr. Trump wrote.
- In a post on Truth Social early on Thursday, Trump wrote “large scale tariffs, far larger than currently planned,” will be placed on the EU and Canada if they work together to “do economic harm to the USA.”
- Trump said the goal of his tariff threat was to “protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!”
- The president’s post was made just hours after he signed an order to impose 25% tariffs on all cars and trucks imported into the U.S.
- Shortly before that post, Trump once again touted the so-called “LIBERATION DAY IN AMERICA,” a phrase he has been using to describe his plans to impose reciprocal tariffs against other countries on April 2.
- In the all-caps post, the president wrote: “FOR YEARS WE HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF BY VIRTUALLY EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, BOTH FRIEND AND FOE…BUT THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.”
His threat creates a new problem for the European Union, which is already trying to respond to his tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos and potentially a broader array of goods and services.
Now Carney has no idea what to do next, except picking nose?
At the same time, the “Tariffs Carnage” has begun in Canada…
Canada steel, aluminum plants lay off workers due to US tariffs
- Union chief says 200 workers already laid off
- Union chief fears ‘tidal wave’ of new layoffs coming soon
- Canada labour minister says government ready to support workers
- Advocates say Canada should beef up employment insurance
Hundreds of Canadian workers, many in the steel and aluminum sectors, have been laid off as a result of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, according to a major union and companies.
Economists warned this was only the beginning as the impact of tariffs is expected to broaden the longer they are in place. Uncertainty surrounding Trump’s policies has cast a chill over Canada’s economy and labour market.
Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum on March 12; more tariffs could be coming on April 2. And Trump on Wednesday said that all cars and certain automobile parts that are shipped into the United States would be subject to a 25 percent tariff.
The United States is by far Europe’s most important trading partner, and the prospect of worse trading conditions has left the European Union scrambling to negotiate. But the Trump administration has showed little appetite to strike a deal so far.
“In the end, as it is said, one hand cannot clap,” Maros Sefcovic, the trade commissioner for the European Union, has said.
That has left Europeans seeking to strike new alliances and deepen existing trading relationships. And concerns about President Trump’s shifting stance on military support have driven partners like the European Union and Canada closer together. Canada is already working toward providing industrial support for Europe’s rearmament push.
Does Carney have what it takes to face Trump head on?
Initial survey suggests the answer is Nope… He dares not even see Trump till this day, but he did meet up with the scandal ridden premier of Ontario, Doug Ford in a coffee shop!
