The recent announcement by the Trump administration of 25% tariffs on all automobiles made outside of the United States has sparked strong reactions from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. These leaders have expressed concerns about the potential negative impact these tariffs may have on their respective economies and industries.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called the move a “direct attack” on Canadian workers and described it as entirely unjustified, while awaiting further details to assess its full brunt on the economy. He emphasized that through this period of uncertainty, Canada will remain united in facing these challenges head-on and emerge stronger from them.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford also criticized President Trump’s decision, stating that it would increase costs for hardworking American families while putting U.S. markets at risk. He expressed his support for the federal government preparing retaliatory tariffs to show their determination not to back down in this situation.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted the negative effects of these tariffs on businesses and consumers, both within the United States and Europe. She reaffirmed that while seeking negotiated solutions is a priority for the EU, they will also safeguard their economic interests during this time.
In response to questions about the Signal chat leak controversy, President Trump defended Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and claimed responsibility for it himself, stating that he always thought it was Mike Waltz who had made the claim previously. This further adds complexity to an already tense situation between various world leaders regarding trade policies and economic relations.
