Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada has declared that the United States' recent wave of tariffs on Canadian goods is a "miscalculation" aimed at harming and dividing their nations. This comes after trade negotiations between the two countries reached an impasse late on Friday. Carney stated that the US made "too many demands" and offered "too little," leading to the collapse of talks.

He affirmed that Canada would match each US tariff "dollar-for-dollar" from September 8th, encompassing levies on steel, dairy, appliances, and electronics. The breakdown of the trade discussions has severed a closely integrated trading relationship, with few clear paths for resolution. Trump has yet to comment on the matter.
