This move came after days of negotiations between the two nations, with each side accusing the other of derailing the talks. The tariffs affect various products, including wooden ice hockey sticks, though they represent only about 5% of Canada's exports to the US. The decision marks an escalation in tensions between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney announced the suspension of trade negotiations and vowed to retaliate with dollar-for-dollar tariffs. He criticized the US for proposing unfair and uneconomic terms that questioned the reliability of any deal. Canada's negotiators had worked diligently to defend Canadian interests, but ultimately, Carney deemed the last-minute US changes unacceptable. Earlier, the two sides appeared close to an agreement that would have lowered tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos. However, Canada declined to finalize the deal under the proposed terms. The US Trade Representative highlighted the missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the US, which is the fastest-growing economy in the G7. The tariffs are expected to impact vulnerable sectors, potentially leading to job losses and business closures.",
