Canada 'disappointed' by Trump boosting tariffs to 35%, says Carney
Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement (new window) just past midnight on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase a tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent. "While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to [the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (new window) ], which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume," the statement read. The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs. He says the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian and diversify export markets. Even though the vast bulk of Canada's exports can still cross the border tariff-free, Trump's executive order (new window) increases the tariff rate, which had been set at 25 per cent since March (new window) , to 35 per cent (new window) starting Friday. WATCH | Trump speaks at the White House just hours before tariff deadline: The order cites Canada's lack of co-operation in stemming the flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs across our northern border and the fact that Canada has retaliated against the United States for the president's actions. Border security improvements Carney's statement also outlined all the work Canada has been doing to crack down on fentanyl and increase border security. Canada accounts for only one per cent of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes, he said. Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs and end migrant smuggling. Carney says they have hired thousands of new law enforcement and border security officers, implemented aerial surveillance and increased Canada's intelligence and security operations. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump was asked whether Carney's announcement that Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state (new window) was a deal-breaker on trade. I didn't like what they said, but you know, that's their opinion, Trump said. Not a deal-breaker. But we haven't spoken to Canada today. He's called and we'll see. Negotiations ongoing Trump told NBC News Thursday evening that he was open to further discussions with Canada, adding that he may even speak with Carney later in the night. Carney's office would not confirm that a call was placed to the White House, and told CBC News it is not confirming any details about the ongoing negotiations. In a separate executive order on Thursday, Trump hit dozens of countries around the world with new across-the-board tariff rates ranging from 15 to 41 per cent (new window) . After speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump gave Mexico a 90-day extension (new window) of its current tariff regime, despite having previously threatened to raise the rate effective Friday. Canada's trade negotiating team is in Washington, but officials were tight-lipped Thursday about who they were meeting with — if anyone. WATCH | Canadians' boycott of U.S. booze draws attention south of the border: Tariffs remain 'unjustified,' says Poilievre Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre took to social media Thursday evening, calling the tariffs unjustified and saying his party continues to hold out hope for a deal to end all tariffs. That means zero tariffs on our steel, aluminum, softwood, autos, energy, agriculture and everything else, he wrote on the social media platform X. That is the deal Canada had before and the prime minister should accept nothing short of that. Earlier, Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the tariff increase concerning and said Ottawa should retaliate with 50 per cent tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum. Canada shouldn't settle for anything less than the right deal, Ford said on X. Now is not the time to roll over. We need to stand our ground. Enlarge image (new window) Note: Trade deals are preliminary. Photo: CBC Union wants to see action Unifor national president Lana Payne said she agrees with Ford. This is the fight of our lives, said Payne, whose union represents some 40,000 autoparts and assembly workers in Canada. And we need to use all our leverage to fight for Canadian workers and their jobs. The stakes are high but we can do this Canada! For more than a week, Carney and other Canadian officials have been downplaying the likelihood (new window) of getting a deal by the deadline. They've also cast doubt on the urgency, given the exemption that allows roughly 90 per cent of Canadian exports to enter the U.S. tariff-free. David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington, told CBC's Power & Politics guest host David Common that Canadians should not be overreacting to the lack of a deal right now. WATCH | The latest from Washington, D.C. : The sun will shine in the morning and we will carry on, Paterson said Thursday from his office in Canada's embassy in Washington. We really support the prime minister's approach. When the time is right for that agreement to come together, it will. Comments from U.S. officials White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested earlier Thursday the threatened tariff increases would kick in unless Trump reached last-minute deals with trading partners. Those countries that either do not have a deal or have a letter, they will be hearing from this administration by the midnight deadline tonight, Leavitt told reporters in a briefing. Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick criticized Canada for being one of the only countries to retaliate against Trump's tariffs. I just don't see the president stepping off the gas, Lutnick said in an interview on Fox Business Network. Trump issued similar ultimatums with the same Aug. 1 deadline to 17 major trading partners across the globe, including the European Union, Japan and Taiwan. Each contained threats of tariffs in the range of 30 per cent. Last week, Trump announced deals with the EU and Japan (new window) with across-the-board tariffs of 15 per cent, as well as vague commitments for hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in the U.S. A pending legal challenge Separately, Trump has imposed a 50 per cent tariff on steel and aluminum imports (new window) from around the world. Canada is the top supplier of both products to the U.S. For the 35 per cent tariff that specifically targets Canada, Trump used a law that allows the U.S. president to take emergency economic measures to deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat to national security. He cited the supposed flow of fentanyl across the country's northern border as that threat. That tariff is facing a legal challenge (new window) that has now reached a federal appeals court, putting it further along in the U.S. court system than any other tariff lawsuit.

Read Carney's full response to Trump's 35% tariff on Canada
Prime Minister Mark Carney responded on Friday to U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of a 35 per cent tariff on some Canadian goods. The 35 per cent tariff is an increase from a previously imposed 25 per cent duty and impacts goods not traded under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on free trade. Those under CUSMA are exempt from the tariff. Here is the full transcript of Carney's response, posted on Friday to X. *** President Trump has announced that the United States will increase its tariffs to 35% on those Canadian exports that are not covered under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, or CUSMA. While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA, which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume. Story continues below advertisement The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum, and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs.

The United States has justified its most recent trade action on the basis of the cross-border flow of fentanyl, despite the fact that Canada accounts for only 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes. Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, and end migrant smuggling. These include thousands of new law enforcement and border security officers, aerial surveillance, intelligence and security operations, and the strongest border legislation in our history. We will continue working with the United States to stop the scourge of fentanyl and save lives in both our countries. While we will continue to negotiate with the United States on our trading relationship, the Canadian government is laser focused on what we can control: building Canada strong. Story continues below advertisement The federal government, provinces and territories are working together to cut down trade barriers to build one Canadian economy. We are developing a series of major nation-building projects with provincial, territorial, and Indigenous partners. Together, these initiatives have the potential to catalyse over half a trillion dollars of new investments in Canada. Canadians will be our own best customer, creating more well-paying careers at home, as we strengthen and diversify our trading partnerships throughout the world. We can give ourselves more than any foreign government can ever take away by building with Canadian workers and by using Canadian resources to benefit all Canadians.

Trump's new 35% tariffs are damaging for Quebec workers and companies, Legault says
By QUEBEC — U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to go ahead with 35-per-cent tariffs on Canadian exports will hurt Quebec workers and companies, Premier François Legault said Friday. Reacting to Trump's decision to sign an executive order to increase tariffs on Canadian goods from 25 per cent to 35 per cent, Legault said Canada and Quebec have no choice but to diversify their economies and increase economic autonomy. 'The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, which go from 25 per cent to 35 per cent, excluding products covered by our free trade agreement, are damaging to our workers and companies,' Legault said in an early morning posting on social media. 'These tariffs are also harmful to American citizens who need our products and our resources.' Les tarifs imposés par l'administration Trump, qui passent de 25 à 35 %, excluant les produits couverts par notre entente de libre-échange, sont dommageables pour nos travailleurs et nos entreprises. Ces tarifs nuisent aussi aux citoyens américains qui ont besoin de nos produits… — François Legault (@francoislegault) August 1, 2025 Unlike Mexico, which got an extension in trade talks, Canada got no such break with tariffs on certain export goods increasing Friday. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement on the Trump decision after midnight Thursday. 'While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA (the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement), which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume,' the statement said. 'The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — are however heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs.' My statement on Canada-U.S. trade: — Mark Carney (@MarkJCarney) August 1, 2025 Carney said the government will act to protect Canadian jobs and invest in industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian and diversify our export markets. 'Canadians will be our own best customers, creating more well-paying careers at home as we strengthen and diversify our trading partners throughout the world.' Legault takes a similar line, vowing to protect Quebec's interests. 'Recent developments underline the importance of devoting efforts to diversify our markets and increase economic autonomy,' Legault writes. 'We are going to support our workers and our companies. 'We are working with the federal government and other provinces for the rest of things. We have to continue our discussions with the American administration. In any case, we are going defend the interests of Quebecers. '
