Canada, Mexico discuss response to US ‘unjustified trade actions’

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday about Canada’s plan to “fight unjustified trade actions” by the United States, the prime minister’s office said.

“With challenging times ahead, Prime Minister Carney and President Sheinbaum emphasised the importance of safeguarding North American competitiveness while respecting the sovereignty of each nation,” Carney’s office said in a statement.

“Prime Minister Carney also highlighted his plan to fight unjustified trade actions against Canada.”

Trump, since returning to the White House in January, has announced and delayed tariffs on Canada and Mexico. He has also proposed hitting global trading partners with reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday.
