The era of Canada's close partnership with the United States is over

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that economic and military cooperation between the two countries will not continue in the same form as before, following the US's imposition of a 25% tariff on car imports, France24 reports.

Carney said that these tariffs violate trade agreements and that Canada will now also take a tough stance against the United States, saying, "We will take decisive action to protect our economy."

It is known that Trump's tariffs could be a major blow to the Canadian auto industry, as this sector provides 500,000 jobs across the country.

However, the Prime Minister has said that he will only continue trade talks with the United States if Canadian sovereignty is respected. "Respect is a fundamental condition for me," he said.
