US EditionCarney had no advance notice of U.S. tariff hike, official says
Canada signals willingness to continue talks after U.S. imposed 10% tariff triggered by Ontario ad, despite halted negotiations and no prior notice to Prime Minister Carney.
- On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced an additional 10 per cent tariff on Canada, and a senior government official says Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had no advance notice.
- The Ontario government ran an anti-tariff ad featuring former U.S. President Ronald Reagan in U.S. markets during the World Series as part of the $75-million campaign launched earlier this month, and the province said it would remove the ad on Monday.
- Tariff data show Canada faces a base rate of 35% with exemptions under USMCA, plus sector-specific rates of 50% on steel and aluminum and 25% on most foreign autos with partial exemptions.
- Ottawa says it stands ready to resume negotiations and maintain dialogue, a stance reflected by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc after talks were halted Thursday.
- Carney is in Asia to diversify trade and aims to double exports to non-US markets over the next decade after weeks of negotiations, including an Oct. 7 White House visit, with both sides making headway in recent weeks.
