  "summary": "The United States has imposed 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods after trade talks between the two countries collapsed. The new duties, which took effect shortly after midnight, cover about $20 billion of Canadian goods, representing slightly more than 5% of Canada's US exports.\n\nAccording to the Daily Times, Canada has pledged dollar-for-dollar retaliation. The affected products include items such as wooden ice hockey sticks, plywood, liquor, electrical equipment, and hockey gear.\n\nThe collapse of trade talks and the imposition of tariffs have increased tensions between US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and are likely to make broader talks to renew the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement more difficult, as reported by Dawn. Carney stated that he had suspended trade negotiations and directed Canada's negotiators to return to Ottawa.",
