Incoming Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said his government will keep tariffs in place until Americans show respect and commit to free trade after US President Donald Trump threatened historic financial devastation for Canada.

Mr Carney, who will be sworn in as Justin Trudeau’s replacement in the coming days, said Mr Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses.
