Canada and US Escalate Trade Dispute with Reciprocal Tariffs Imposed
Canada's recent trade conflict with the US escalated after Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected terms he deemed harmful to Canadian sovereignty and key industries.

While Canada heavily depends on the US market, the dispute reflects broader concerns about economic leverage and national autonomy. Both countries face potential economic impacts, with Canadian provinces and industries expressing varied concerns over the trade tensions and their domestic implications.
