Carney Blasts Trump Tariffs as Illegal

“Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke out Monday after the Trump administration announced a new 50 percent tariff on a range of exports from the U.S.’s northern neighbor,” NewsNation reports.

“Carney slammed the new import taxes as ‘the latest in a series of tariffs in direct violation’ of the trade agreement between the U.S. Mexico and Canada.”

Said Carney: “This trade dispute has raised costs for families, particularly in the U.S. Canada stands ready to engage intensively to address outstanding issues with the U.S. to the mutual benefit of our citizens.'”
