US-Canada Trade Talks Collapse as Both Sides Impose Tariffs Amid Dispute
Trade talks between the US and Canada collapsed after the US imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian goods, prompting Canada to announce retaliatory tariffs. The dispute centers on issues like steel, aluminum, lumber, and dairy, with Canada rejecting what it called a bad deal. Experts warn the tariffs could harm both economies, causing job losses and higher prices. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has taken a firm stance, supported by public opinion, while calls for global governance to resolve such disputes have been made.
