Trump and Canada Carne have the first call amid a continuous trade war

US President Donald Trump says he has a “very fruitful” call with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, amid a continuous trade war between neighbors.

In a social publication, Trump said that the two will meet “immediately” after the upcoming Canada elections on April 28 to discuss “policy, business and all other factors.”

In the midst of an electoral campaign, Carney described the call as “very constructive”, adding that he told the President that Canada “would carry out a retaliatory tariff to protect Canadian workers.”

Trump’s tariff learned 25 % on vehicle imports on April 2, which may be devastating to the Canadian car industry.

Historically, Canadian leaders give priority for an early invitation with their American counterpart after a short period of becoming the Prime Minister.

However, the call between Carney and Trump is the first since the new Prime Minister took office on March 14.

Canadian The Prime Minister’s Office said The two leaders agreed to start comprehensive negotiations on a new economic and security relationship immediately after the elections.

“Meanwhile, the leaders agreed that the talks between the Minister of International Trade and International Government Affairs and the President of the Queen House of Parliament, Dominic Lieblank, and the United States Trade Minister, Howard Lottenic, will flourish to address immediate concerns,” the statement said.

On Friday, the American President’s tone was unlike his previous statements about Canada, especially his repeated hatred in the predecessor of Carney, Justin Trudeau, whom he sarcastically sarcastically in the name of “Governor Trudeau”.

In addition to the imposition of customs duties, Trump has repeatedly suggested that Canada become the 51st American state – an idea that sparked a widespread violent reaction among Canadians.

On Thursday evening, Carney said that the United States “is no longer a reliable commercial partner” and that Canada’s old relationship with the United States “has ended.”

Carney, who leads the Canadian liberal party, pledged to impose a retaliatory tariff with a “maximum impact” on the United States.

On Friday, he conveyed the message again to Trump, according to his office statement.

“The Prime Minister told the President that his government would implement the reprisals to protect Canadian workers and our economy, after announcing additional trade measures on April 2, 2025,” said the Prime Minister that his government would implement the revenge definitions to protect Canadian workers and our economy, after announcing additional trade measures on April 2, 2025. “

The tariff may affect the proposed cars of the US President on up to 500,000 jobs in the Canadian auto industry.

The United States has already imposed a 25 % tariff on Canadian goods, along with a 25 % duty on all aluminum and steel imports. Canada has averaged by about $ 60 billion in Canadian dollars (42 billion dollars; 32 billion pounds) of customs tariffs on American goods.

The White House said that the tariff of new cars will enter into force on April 2, with fees for companies that import vehicles that start the next day. Taxes are set on parts to start in May or later.

The exacerbation of US -Canadian relations has become a major electoral issue in the general elections in Canada.

Pierre Boelifer, Conservative leader, the main opposition party, described customs duties as “unjustified and unjustified”, while the Leader of the Left National Democratic Party, Jaghmit Singh, referred to as “betrayal”.

Trump also warned Canada against working with the European Union against the US mutual tariff that is expected to be announced soon.

He said that any effort to do this would get “a large -scale tariff, much larger than it is currently.”
