Canada will remove all tariffs on US goods compliant with the North American free trade agreement, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced.
The move represents an about-face for Canada, which had been one of the few countries to punch back against President Trump’s protectionist agenda.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has received both criticism and praise on social media after announcing on Monday that he is dropping retaliatory tariffs introduced on U.S. goods that are covered under the Canada-United States-Mexico trade agreement (CUSMA).
Mark Carney has been accused of a “blatant betrayal” of women’s rights after the Canadian prime minister intervened to try and block a strike by 10,000 flight attendants.
