- President Donald Trump told Canadian leaders to "fall in line" or face consequences "far worse" than existing tariffs, and threatened new 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts and steel.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of trying to subordinate Canada, rejecting the idea that Canada would accept being treated as "a subsidiary of the United States."
- Speaking in French, Carney said the Americans sought to "destroy our major industries," including autos, steel and aluminum, calling the rejected U.S. offer "a bad deal."
- Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and three other Cabinet ministers were expected Tuesday to detail supports for workers affected by the tariffs, with Canada set to formally announce its retaliatory tariffs the same day.
