What specific retaliatory actions did Canada announce, and what were Trump's latest tariff threats against Canada?

Canada will announce retaliatory tariffs against the United States on Tuesday, following a sharp deterioration in relations after Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from trade negotiations with the Trump administration late Friday. In response, Trump threatened new 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts, and steel, targeting about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, and warned he would impose further tariffs on Canada’s auto industry beginning next year. He also criticized Canada’s tariffs on American farmers as 'ridiculously high' and claimed 'Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years.'

How did Prime Minister Carney characterize the U.S. trade demands and Canada’s stance toward them?

Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of trying to subordinate Canada, stating that an attitude treating Canada as 'a subsidiary of the United States' is 'not something we’re going to accept.' He said U.S. trade demands aimed to 'destroy our major industries,' specifically naming autos, steel, and aluminum, calling the proposal a 'bad deal' and emphasizing that it would gradually dismantle Canadian auto production despite describing the Canada-U.S. automotive partnership as 'the most successful automotive partnership in history.'
