Carney said the tariff’s will target all vehicles that are not compliant with the US-Mexico-Canada trade deals, assuring Mexico that the new tariff’s will not apply to the southern nation.

“Given the prospective damage to their own people, the American administration should eventually change course,” Carney told reporters. “But I don’t want to give false hope.”
