The announcement came in the form of a letter published on Trump's social media platform Truth Social, along with additional threats of blanket tariffs of 15% or 20% on most trade partners.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government would continue to protect his country's workers and businesses as they head towards the new deadline.

Trump has sent more than 20 such letters to other US partners this week. He also says he will soon announce new tariffs on the European Union.

Like Canada's letter, Trump has vowed to implement those tariffs by 1 August.
