Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he would speak with Us President Donald Trump in the coming days after Mr Trump announced 25% tariffs on auto imports.

Mr Carney, who has not spoken with Mr Trump since becoming Canada’s new leader nearly two weeks ago, said that the US president reached out on Wednesday night to schedule a call.

“We will be speaking soon, certainly in the course of the next day or two,” Mr Carney said.
