The ongoing trade war between Canada and America continues, and the new Canadian Prime Minister clearly isn't ready to back down.

Donald Trump has ruffled the feathers of America's neighboring countries by imposing 'catastrophic' tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China.

And it wasn't long until said countries retaliated to the hiked tariffs, with the likes of China imposing taxes of 15 percent on coal and liquified natural gas from the US, as well as a 10 percent levy on crude oil, farming equipment and some cars.

Elsewhere, Canada has since slapped 25 percent tariffs on American goods coming into the country.

Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario (one of Canada's ten provinces), is also slapping tariffs on Canadian exports, which could see Americans having to pay an extra $100 on their monthly electricity bills.

In the wake of the ongoing back and forth, incoming Canadian prime minister Mark Carney has revealed what Trump and his party can do to end their tariff war.

"The Canadian government has rightly retaliated with tariffs. We will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect," he said, as per The Independent.

"We did not ask for this fight. But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. Make no mistake, Canada will win."

He went on to speak of the 'dark days' the country is facing as a result of America's actions.

"I know these are dark days. Dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust," Carney said.

"We're getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons: we have to look after ourselves and we have to look out for each other. We need to pull together in the tough days ahead."

Carney isn't the only one to slam Trump's tariffs; his predecessor Justin Trudeau branded Trump's hikes as 'dumb'.

He said in a televised address: "It’s not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal, but Donald, they point out that even though you are a very smart guy, this a very dumb thing to do."

Meanwhile, in an even more scathing address, China's foreign minister hit out at Trump's 'two-faced acts'.

"No country should fantasize that it can suppress China and maintain a good relationship with China at the same time," diplomat Wang Yi said in a press conference on Friday (March 7).

"Such two-faced acts are not good for the stability of bilateral relations or for building mutual trust."

Wang went on: "In the spirit of humanitarianism, China has provided various forms of assistance to the US, and the US should not repay goodwill with resentment or impose unjustified tariffs.

"This is not the behavior of a responsible major power."
