Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on (Tuesday) in response to the escalation of the trade war with the United States that the Canadian government will respond to new US tariffs "dollar for dollar".

He went on to say, referring to Washington's increasing pressure on Canada's economy, he emphasized that Ottawa will not give in to American excesses.

resistance to dependence; Not a true partnership

Canada's prime minister defended his country's decision to walk away from an unfair deal, saying that "in many areas, they were looking for dependency, not a true economic partnership," adding: "Because there wasn't a fair deal on the table, we made the right decision: we walked away from a bad deal."

In another part of his speech, referring to Canada's history of resistance to American expansionism, Carney said: "In many ways, Canada got a new life in response to American aggression. "Our first prime minister correctly recognized the threat of the expansionist United States and united this land with haste."

"Our tariffs are necessary to protect our workers, our companies and our communities," Carney said, stressing that he does not believe in escalating tensions. "We cannot allow American goods to come into Canada tariff-free, while they charge tariffs on our companies to export to America."

Canada stronger than ever

At the end, the Prime Minister of Canada expressed confidence in his country's ability to deal with economic pressures, saying: "We are stronger now than when the United States started this trade war a year and a half ago; More unified, more determined and more ambitious."

Carney's comments come as trade relations between the two neighboring countries have reached their lowest level in recent months and tensions over new tariffs have raised concerns about the future of North American economic cooperation.
