Canada prepares retaliatory measures amid U.S. tariff threats

Canada is gearing up to respond forcefully to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent tariff announcement, signaling possible retaliatory actions against the United States. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasised that Canada will not back down and will defend its workers, companies, and national interests.

The announcement of new tariffs on imported vehicles, if implemented, would likely disrupt the integrated North American auto industry, with Canada potentially facing losses. The Canadian government has already outlined a retaliation package worth C$155 billion, which will be activated depending on the actions taken by the U.S.

Carney is set to convene a high-level cabinet meeting to finalise Canada’s strategy. “We will defend our country, and we will do so together,” Carney said, adding that retaliatory tariffs are among the options being considered. He indicated that the response could come swiftly, with the possibility of exploring non-tariff measures such as export duties on commodities.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has voiced strong support for retaliatory measures. Ford emphasized that Canada must stand firm and “inflict as much pain as possible to the American people without harming Canadians.” He noted that the auto sector in Ontario, a key part of Canada’s economy, would be central to the strategy.

The U.S. tariff plan could lead to higher vehicle costs in the U.S., with some estimates indicating price increases of up to $5,300 per car. Carney’s government has warned that any new tariffs will hurt not only the U.S. economy but also disrupt global trade, as the North American car industry heavily relies on cross-border manufacturing.

Canada’s auto industry, the second-largest exporter after oil, generated $51 billion in export value in 2023, 93% of which was shipped to the U.S. This makes Canada particularly vulnerable to the proposed tariffs. However, Carney affirmed that Canada will explore options to reduce its reliance on the U.S. despite the challenges of diversification.

As tensions escalate, both sides of the Atlantic are bracing for further economic fallout. European leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have also voiced opposition to Trump’s tariff plans, highlighting the global ramifications of such protectionist policies.
