After long insisting that Canada could avoid Trump tariffs through talks, Mark Carney now says that is unlikely for any nation.

Trump threatened to escalate tariffs beyond 35% if Canada opts to retaliate with tariffs on U.S. goods. Canadian goods are also subject to sector-specific tariffs, such as 50% levies on steel and aluminum as well as 25% tariffs on non-USMCA compliant autos and auto parts.

The Canadian prime minister said it may not be possible to escape U.S. tariffs even with a bilateral agreement to resolve the current tariff row.
