Ottawa, April 10, 2025:
The Canadian federal election campaign has taken a dramatic turn as Prime Minister Mark Carney temporarily suspended his campaign activities to address escalating trade tensions with the United States. Carney announced plans to convene key cabinet ministers to formulate a response to the latest U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
President Trump’s recent decision to implement a 90-day pause on tariffs for numerous countries, excluding Canada, Mexico, and China, has heightened economic concerns. In response, Carney emphasized Canada’s commitment to defending its economic interests and signaled intentions to negotiate a new economic and security relationship with the U.S. post-election.
