Carney reacts to U.S. proposing new 10% tariff on Canada

Canada said it will introduce legislation to address forced and child labour after the U.S. proposed a new 10% tariff on Canada and other countries tied to forced-labour supply chain investigations. The move highlights rising trade and compliance risk, with potential implications for import costs and cross-border supply chains. Market impact is likely limited to trade-exposed sectors rather than broad markets.
