Liberal Leader Mark Carney said Thursday U.S. President Donald Trump's move to levy tariffs on virtually every country will "rupture the global economy," torpedo economic growth and prompt devastating consequences for workers and businesses in this country and around the world.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Americans will experience "damage" and "pain," during a Thursday announcementthat his country will impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. vehicle imports in response to President Donald Trump's newly implemented 25 percent auto tariffs.

Mark Carney said new US tariffs on cars and light trucks are a “direct attack” on workers in Canada’s auto sector, as he faces what will be his first major trade war decision since becoming prime minister.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney is once again pausing his campaign in the federal election to head back to Ottawa ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's expected Wednesday announcement of widespread tariffs.
