Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a limited set of counter-measures against US tariffs on Thursday while calling President Donald Trump’s protectionist moves a tragedy for global trade.

Carney said the Canadian government will copy the US approach by imposing a 25% tariff on all vehicles imported from the US that are not compliant with the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal. Carney also told a press conference that the new tariffs would not apply to auto parts and would not affect vehicle content from Mexico.

“Given the prospective damage to their own people, the American administration should eventually change course. But I don’t want to give false hope,” Carney said, adding that it could take a long time for the United States to shift approach.

Carney said Canada’s previously announced tariffs would stay in place.

Trump’s new tariffs sent shockwaves through markets on Thursday. His 10% baseline levy on all US imports, with much higher duties on some countries, encouraged investors to flee risky assets as they worried Trump was upending global trade.

“The 80-year period when the United States embraced the mantle of global economic leadership, when it forged alliances rooted in trust and mutual respect and championed the free and open exchange of goods and services, is over. This is a tragedy,” Carney said.
