President Donald Trump called the move “nice.”
Following a series of agreements the United States has signed with major partners including the European Union, Carney said it was clear the Trump administration is compelling countries “to buy access to the world’s largest economy.”
The US tariff rate on Canadian goods was 5.6%, the prime minister said, adding “85 percent of our trade is tariff-free.”
Effective September 1, Canada will match that exemption as a goodwill gesture, as it aims to “intensify” discussions with the Trump administration on a broader trading relationship, the prime minister said.
“There is a time in the game... (when) we dropped the gloves in the first period to send a message,“ he said, using hockey terminology for punching an opponent.
Asked if he had received assurances from Trump on Thursday that the tariff announcement would help kickstart talks on a broader trade deal, Carney said “yes.”
“I like Carney a lot. I think he’s a good, good person,“ the president said.
Trump’s global sector-specific tariffs -- namely those targeting all auto, steel and aluminum imports -- have done the most damage in Canada.
“Our focus now is squarely on these strategic sectors and the future.” – AFP
