Conservatives Call Emergency Meeting Over Trump Threats, Demand Carney Explain Plan
Shuv Majumdar says Ottawa should table its written response as Trump threatens 50% tariffs on Canadian products within 30 days.
- Conservative shadow minister for Canada and American relations Shuv Majumdar called for an emergency meeting of the Standing Committee on International Trade today, demanding Prime Minister Mark Carney table Canada's written negotiation plans.
- President Donald Trump announced Monday the American government will impose 50 per cent tariffs on an array of Canadian products within 30 days, spurring the Conservative opposition's demand for a coordinated response.
- American officials stated the 50 per cent levies respond directly to provincial bans on American alcohol, Canada's supply-managed dairy system, and quotas on American cars as specific trade irritants.
- Majumdar accused Carney of caving to Trump's demands, citing the Prime Minister's campaign promises to handle the American president but arguing the government has since failed to uphold them.
- Carney and Trump last met at the G7 working luncheon in Evian-les-Bains, France on June 16, 2026, a diplomatic engagement that now contrasts sharply with the current tariff threat and mounting domestic pressure.
