Canada Urges U.S. to Resume Serious Trade Talks Amid Tariff Dispute
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the U.S. Trump administration for its approach to trade talks, urging officials to "stop doing memes" and "start being serious" amid escalating tariff disputes. Following the collapse of negotiations on August 21, the U.S. imposed tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods, prompting Canada to announce retaliatory tariffs on American imports effective September 8. Both sides have exchanged sharp remarks, with Carney emphasizing the need for respectful discussions to resume and highlighting concerns over U.S. demands affecting key Canadian industries.
