Carney said his new tariffs would not be imposed on auto parts.
"Our tariffs, though, unlike the U.S. tariffs, will not affect auto parts because we know the benefits of our integrated production system, and they will also not affect vehicle content from Mexico, who is respecting the [USMCA trade] agreement," he said.
Canada's initial retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. remain in place, on items such as orange juice, peanut butter, coffee, appliances, footwear, cosmetics, motorcycles, and certain pulp and paper products.
The Canadian government also will develop a framework for auto producers in Canada to get federal relief from U.S. tariffs as long as they maintain production and investment in the country, The Globe and Mail in Toronto reported. Carney said every dollar raised from Canadian levies will go toward helping workers and companies affected by the U.S. tariffs.
