VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) \u2014 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney<\/span> said Tuesday that he and Donald Trump have agreed to intensify negotiations on a trade agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico a day after the U.S. president announced 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Carney\u2019s comments came after Trump declared that Canada has unfairly discriminated against American autos, alcohol and dairy products. The new tariffs were scheduled to come into effect 30 days from Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke this morning with the U.S. president and we agreed to deepen and speed up our negotiations over the next few weeks,\u201d Carney said in Ottawa. \u201cCanada will do all that is necessary to support our jobs, our workers, our farmers and to make Canada stronger, more independent and more resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tariffs could unleash a new wave of economic chaos<\/span>, with risks of higher inflation and further fraying of relations between two nations that previously had warm, close ties before Trump\u2019s return to the White House. The administration official previewing the action Monday said Canada was one of the only nations other than China that retaliated against Trump\u2019s previous tariffs and must be held accountable.<\/p>\n

The US did not renew the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement<\/h2>\n

The new 50% tariffs would exclude energy products, potash, fish and critical minerals, but would include goods previously protected from import taxes by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA. That 2020 trade pact was not renewed by the U.S., triggering a new set of negotiations that could run until 2036.<\/p>\n

Carney said he planned to meet virtually with the country\u2019s premiers later in the day Tuesday. British Columbia Premier David Eby was blunt in his criticism of Trump and the proposed tariffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis feels like an increasingly desperate and flailing approach to relationships with our country,\u201d he said in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, where premiers and territorial leaders were meeting. \u201cThere\u2019s no question it will hurt families in British Columbia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eby said Trump is wrong to think he can \u201cbully us into whatever he wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI feel sorry for Americans,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you can\u2019t be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have friends anywhere in the world, and that is a very lonely place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
