PORT MOODY, British Columbia, April 24 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday dismissed Donald Trump’s remarks about not wanting Canadian cars, reiterating that the U.S. President wanted to break Canada.

"He said he doesn’t want Canada to play any part in the North American auto industry. So, I will be equally clear: this is Canada - we decide what happens here," Carney he said in a speech in British Columbia ahead of Monday’s general election.

Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he did notwant Canadian cars and said a 25% tariff imposed on cars imported from Canada to the United States could go up.
