Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the US International Trade Court's decision to block President Donald Trump's tariffs.
The prime minister also made it clear that Canada will continue to work on expanding its trade with other markets because Trump has not eliminated steel, aluminum and automotive tariffs.
On Wednesday, the US International Trade Court ruled that Trump does not have the authority to impose tariffs on every country using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.
The court's ruling blocks tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, as well as reciprocal tariffs imposed on other countries, which the Trump administration is challenging. The president has not yet commented on the matter, but members of his team have widely condemned the court's decision.

RCMP arrest Edmonton teen allegedly connected to online terrorism network
RCMP say they have arrested an Alberta teen because investigators believe the youth will commit terrorism offences. Mounties allege a 15-year-old from Edmonton was planning to commit offences related to the COM/764.
They say it is a violent online network that lures youth and encourages them to commit sexual acts, self-harm and animal torture. Investigators say they have commenced proceedings against the youth by way of a terrorism peace bond.
A peace bond allows investigators to monitor people who appear likely to commit a crime when there's no evidence of an actual offence.
