Prime Minister Carney [press conference]: Yesterday marked the latest in President Trump's unprecedented series of US tariffs that are designed to reshape the international trading system. The ambition of these measures is enormous, the effects on the global economy will be monumental.

Prime Minister Carney: A system of global trade, anchored on the United States, that Canada has relied on since the end of the second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped to deliver prosperity for our country for decades, is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over.

Prime Minister Carney: We will fight to bring each of these tariffs to an end. We're fighting in courts, challenging that these tariffs have been illegally imposed under US law. We have filed disputes, underscoring that they are in violation of our free trade agreement, CUSMA. We have gone to the World Trade Organization because these actions are against international trade law.

Prime Minister Carney: Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of like-minded countries who share our values….if the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will.
