OTTAWA, Canada — On 23 August 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada will impose dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on a variety of US goods following the collapse of trade negotiations with the United States. President Donald Trump had previously imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian products, reportedly in an effort to harm and divide Canada.
Carney claimed Washington's latest measures were a "miscalculation" and expressed Canada was under attack. Canada's tariffs will target steel, dairy products, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, with the new measures taking effect on 8 September. Prime Minister Carney emphasized the US demands, including restrictions on Canada's ability to negotiate new trade agreements, are unacceptable.
He also said Ottawa would provide support for industries affected by the new tariffs. The breakdown of negotiations comes at a time when Canada's trade relationship with the US is increasingly strained, with no clear resolution in sight.
