President Donald Trump imposed a new 25% tariff on foreign-made cars, but spared Canada from the 10% reciprocal tariffs applied to many other countries.
The Canadian Prime Minister spoke from Parliament Hill.

So, President Trump has just announced a series of measures that are going to fundamentally change the international trading system.
Now, in doing so, he has preserved a number of important elements of our relationship-the commercial relationship between Canada and the United States.
But the fentanyl tariffs still remain in place, as do the tariffs for steel and aluminum.
As of this evening, the tariffs on automobiles will enter into force, and the U.S. has signaled that there will be additional tariffs in so-called strategic sectors, pharmaceuticals, lumber, and semiconductors.
So, we're in a situation where there is going to be an impact on the U.S. economy, which will build with time.
