Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says Prime Minister Mark Carney should start removing counter tariffs against the United States to get a deal done with President Donald Trump.

Trump followed through late Thursday on his threat to hit Canada with 35 per cent tariffs — up from 25 per cent — if Ottawa didn’t make a trade deal. The White House has said the tariffs would not affect goods that are compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, commonly known as CUSMA.

Saskatchewan's premier and the Opposition leader have different opinions on how to handle the U.S. tariff hike on non-CUSMA compliant goods.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was disappointed after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to raise tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on products outside the scope of the U.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa was disappointed over U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest move to raise tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25%, but would carry on trade negotiations with its southern neighbor.
