The Bank of Canada on Wednesday trimmed its key policy rate by 25 basis points to 3%, cut growth forecasts and warned Canadians that a tariff war triggered by the United States could cause major economic damage.

The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points to three per cent in a move that was widely expected by investors and economists, but what comes next is up in the air given the looming trade war with the United States.

The Bank of Canada on Wednesday cut its benchmark rate for a sixth straight time, and warned of a significant shock to the economy from a U.S.-Canada trade conflict with tariffs of up to 25%.

General Motors, the largest producer of cars in Mexico, won’t provide details on how it would react if President Trump imposes 25 percent tariffs from the two countries.

President Donald Trump promised tax cuts for U.S.-based manufacturing and threatened tariffs on those who didn’t comply.

U.S. President Donald Trump still plans to make good on his promise to issue tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Saturday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday.
