Poilievre says Canadians are wounded by U.S. tariffs in CNBC interview

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Canadians feel "wounded" and "confused" by how Canada became a target for U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs during an interview with CNBC in New York on Thursday. Poilievre said the CanadaU.S. relationship has long supported prosperity on both sides of the border and argued that free trade is the best path forward. He said he was in New York to push back against tariffs, speak with investors and business leaders, and make the case that both countries benefit from closer economic ties. He also declined to criticize Prime Minister Mark Carney while abroad, saying he would not attack Canada’s leader on foreign soil. Poilievre added that he planned to remain in New York for the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks to honour victims and recognize CanadianAmerican solidarity after the attacks.
