Speaking exclusively to BBC Newsnight, 59-year-old Carney said Canada will "match dollar for dollar the US tariffs".
As well as levying a 25% tariff on Canadian imports on Saturday, the White House has announced tariffs of 25% on Mexico and 10% on China.
Carney, who announced his run for leader of Canada's governing Liberal Party in January, is the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.
He is currently one of five candidates in the running to succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - and has so far secured the largest support base among Liberal MPs.
