US-Canada Trade Talks Collapse as Both Countries Impose Reciprocal 50% Tariffs
Trade talks between the United States and Canada collapsed after last-minute disagreements, leading the US to impose 50 percent tariffs on about $20-28 billion worth of Canadian goods. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected the US terms as unfair and uneconomic, suspending negotiations and pledging to retaliate with matching tariffs starting September 8. The tariffs affect various sectors including steel, dairy, automobiles, and consumer goods, escalating tensions between the two longtime allies and raising concerns about the future of their trade relationship.
