On July 20, local time, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement on the US government's announcement to impose 50% tariffs on various Canadian products. Carney said that this is the latest move in a series of US unilateral trade actions and violates the “United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.” Canada is united against these “threats to Canada's sovereignty” and is taking action to protect its economy and citizens. Carney said that over the past 18 months, the US has been changing all kinds of trade relationships, including those covered by the US-Mexico-Canada agreement. Therefore, Canada has put forward a series of detailed and comprehensive proposals to resolve the current dispute and modernize the US-Mexico-Canada agreement. He said, “We stand ready to step up relevant consultations in the coming weeks.”
