‘At war’: Canada walks away from US trade talks, retaliates to tariffs
Acknowledging the two countries were in a trade war, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to lead resistance to the Trump administration among the US’ western allies.
Canada and the US are in a trade war, according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Talks between the two countries collapsed, and the US imposed 50% tariffs on a broad range of Canadian products.
In response, Canada announced it would introduce tariffs on several US products starting September 8, matching Washington's new tariffs dollar for dollar to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses.
The US tariffs will affect products including wine, furniture, dairy products, cement, clothing, fishing rods, and hockey equipment, covering around $20 billion worth of Canadian exports. Canada's retaliatory tariffs will target steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.
