Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed his disappointment with US President Donald Trump's imposition of tariff in a post on X.
'While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA, which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume," Carney wrote as the US raised the tariffs on Canadian goods to 35 per cent from 25 per cent.
He further also said that the government will take action to protect Canadian jobs, invest in our industrial competitiveness, and diversify export markets.
'For such sectors, the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in our industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian, and diversify our export markets," he said.
Earlier on Thursday, the White House announced that Canada had failed to 'do more to arrest, seize, traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs."

Trump takes unexpected walk on White House roof to survey new projects

Washington, Aug 5 (AP) President Donald Trump's day began typically enough, with a television interview and a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Then it took an unexpected and unusual turn when he appeared on the roof of the White House's West Wing. Late Tuesday morning, Trump emerged from a door connected to the State Dining Room and stepped onto the roof above the press briefing room and west colonnade that walls the Rose Garden. He spent nearly 20 minutes surveying the rooftop and the grounds below, including a newly paved makeover of the Rose Garden. Reporters, tipped off by the out-of-the-ordinary positioning of snipers above the Oval Office, shouted questions from below. One called out: 'Sir, why are you on the roof?" 'Taking a little walk," Trump shouted back. 'It's good for your health." Trump walked with a small group that included James McCrery, architect of the newly announced USD 200 million ballroom project. They moved slowly, with Trump frequently gesturing and pointing at the roof and grounds. Several times, he wandered toward the corner nearest the press corps, waving and cupping his hands to shout responses to shouted questions. At one point, he said he was looking at 'another way to spend my money for this country." Later, near the end of his appearance on the roof, Trump was asked what he was going to build. He quipped, 'Nuclear missiles." The unexpected walk on the rooftop comes as Trump looks to leave a lasting footprint on what's often referred to as 'The People's House." He has substantially redecorated the Oval Office through the addition of golden flourishes and cherubs, presidential portraits and other items and installed massive flagpoles on the north and south lawns to fly the American flag. And last week, his administration announced that construction on a massive ballroom will begin in September and be ready before Trump's term ends in early 2029. While Trump appeared on the West Wing, the White House has said the ballroom will be where the 'small, heavily changed, and reconstructed East Wing currently sits." While rare, there have been times through the years where presidents ventured out onto — and even slept on — the White House roof. To promote renewable energy, President Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar panels on the West Wing roof in the 1970s. The panels were removed during the Reagan administration. In 1910, President William Howard Taft had a sleeping porch built on the roof to escape Washington's hot summer nights.

NSA Ajit Doval Arrives In Moscow Amid Escalating US-India Tensions Over Russian Oil

Last Updated: National Security Adviser Ajit Doval visits Russia to strengthen ties amid US tensions over India's Russian oil purchases. India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval touched down in Russia for a high-stakes visit aimed at reinforcing the strategic partnership between New Delhi and Moscow. His arrival comes at a time of growing friction between New Delhi and Washington over India's continued purchase of Russian oil and military equipment. According to a report by the Times of India, the visit had been scheduled in advance, but recent tensions with Washington- sparked by President Donald Trump's sharp remarks on India's relationship with Russia- have brought fresh urgency to Ajit Doval's Moscow stop. The visit is expected to include closed-door meetings with senior Russian security and defence officials amid efforts to deepen cooperation on regional security, counterterrorism and energy security. Donald Trump's Tariffs On India The visit comes just days after US President Donald Trump lashed out at India for 'profiting" from Russian crude. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Donald Trump accused India of buying 'massive amounts" of oil from Russia and reselling it for a profit. He also vowed to 'very substantially" raise tariffs on Indian goods within 24 hours. 'They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine," Donald Trump wrote. New Delhi strongly rejected the allegations with the Ministry of External Affairs calling the criticism 'unjustified and unreasonable." India has maintained that its oil imports are driven by domestic energy needs and that many Western nations continue to trade with Russia on a far greater scale, including the United States. Broader Diplomatic Engagements In Pipeline The Economic Times earlier reported that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is also expected to travel to Russia later in August, reinforcing the frequency of high-level exchanges between the two countries. view comments First Published: August 05, 2025, 22:56 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
