Canada Intensifies US Trade Talks Amid Threat of 50% Tariffs on Goods
Canada is intensifying trade talks with the United States to prevent the implementation of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods set for August 19. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that while negotiations continue, Canada is prepared to respond if tariffs take effect, with "everything on the table" for retaliation. The tariffs target various products but exclude energy, potash, fish, and critical minerals. Officials view the tariff threat as both a negotiation tactic and pressure to reach a deal, with provincial leaders supporting a unified approach.
