Standing in the Rose Garden holding a large cardboard list of countries, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his global tariff plan. Dozens of nations will be slapped with tariffs exceeding 20 per cent, and the rest have a baseline of 10 per cent.

But noticeably absent from that list is Canada and Mexico, and the White House confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that no more levies will be applied on Canadian goods.

Still, Canada is dealing with 25 per cent tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Trump’s tariffs “will fundmentally change the international trading system” and noted the existing tariffs on Canadian goods remain in place.

“We’re going to fight these tariffs with countermeasures. We are going to protect our workers and we are going to build the strongest economy in the G7.”

Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre laid out his plan to manage Trump, including renegotiation a trade deal, cut income taxes at home, and help companies access cash to keep workers on the payroll through tough times.
