Ontario’s prime minister-elect, Mark Carney, responded firmly to US President Donald Trump's decision to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Carney called the tariffs an attack on Canadian workers and businesses and vowed that his government would impose retaliatory measures with "maximum impact in the US." He stated that the tariffs would remain until the US shows respect and commits to fair trade. Carney's comments came after Trump's announcement to increase tariffs to 50% in response to Ontario’s electricity surcharge on US states, effective March 12.
