US Imposes 50% Tariffs on Canadian Goods as Trade Talks Fail, Canada Vows Retaliation
- The United States imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods on Saturday after last-ditch negotiations failed, with duties taking effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade negotiations Friday, calling last-minute U.S. changes "unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal." The U.S. blamed Canada, terming it "a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States."
- Canada will retaliate against the new levies "dollar for dollar" to protect workers and businesses, amid a trade relationship worth $880 billion in annual goods and services.
- With tariffs now in effect, Carney directed negotiators to return to Ottawa and pledged new government measures to support Canadian workers and industries facing the trade dispute.
- The tariffs could thwart Canada's fragile economic recovery and reshape bilateral engagement in coming months, marking an extraordinary departure from the traditionally cooperative relationship between the historic allies.
