Prime Minister Mark Carney Rules Out Hitting The U.S. With Retaliatory Tariffs

Home News Prime Minister Mark Carney Rules Out Hitting The U.S. With Retaliatory Tariffs

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday, October 16, 2025, his government is not considering hitting American goods with more retaliatory tariffs even as the trade war rages on, because there are signs that the bilateral talks on relief are headed in the right direction.

Carney is facing pressure from some premiers, like Ontario’s Doug Ford, and organized labour to take on U.S. President Donald Trump as he ramps up his tariffs on critical sectors — levies that have drawn jobs and investment away from Canada.

Carney cited it’s not the time for retaliation, given Canada and U.S. officials are locked in negotiations. “There’s time to hit back and there’s time to talk. And right now it’s time to talk,” Carney told reporters at an unrelated announcement.
