  "summary": "The Trump administration's attacks on Canada have sparked a backlash among former US national security officials and Republicans. They claim that Washington is embarrassing the US and demeaning a long-term ally.\n\nCanadian trade negotiators recently left the US after failing to reach a trade deal that would have stopped President Donald Trump's new tariffs from taking effect. Trump has threatened 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts, and steel.\n\nIn response, Canada plans to announce retaliatory tariffs against the US. According to RTHK News - Finance, Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and other ministers will share details of supports for workers affected by the tariffs. The Canadian government is considering targeted retaliation to protect Canadian workers and businesses, with some officials expressing concerns that the US wants to \"destroy our major industries\".",
