U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Monday to impose 50-per-cent tariffs on Canadian vehicles and auto parts, then attacked Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford as the Conservative opposition demanded details of failed trade negotiations.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada was under economic attack Saturday after trade negotiations collapsed, new U.S. tariffs took effect and he suggested divisions inside U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration contributed to the breakdown.

The United States postponed planned 50 per cent tariffs on a range of Canadian goods for three days as U.S. President Donald Trump said the two countries had reached a trade deal.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet Canada's premiers Thursday to discuss possible retaliatory measures against the United States after President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs affecting nearly every country in the world.
