After the US imposed a 35% tariff on Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that he will talk to Trump when it makes sense. The US has increased the already imposed 25% tariff on Canada to 35%.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is holding virtual meetings with his cabinet and the premiers, less than a week after U.S. President Donald Trump hit Canada with a baseline 35 per cent tariff. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he wants to see dollar-for-dollar retaliation, but that doesn't mean he doesn't back Carney's approach. (Aug. 6, 2025)

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will look for opportunities to remove some counter-tariffs against the US, despite winning an election in which he pledged to fight back against President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Carney noted that fentanyl entering the United States from Canada was "a rounding error" compared to other sources.

The Canadian prime minister said he was "disappointed" by President Donald Trump's move to increase certain tariffs.
