Carney says new Canadian tariffs on US goods will come into effect on September 8
Canada will match Washington’s new tariffs dollar for dollar to protect workers and businesses, with duties hitting steel, dairy and electronics.
- On Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada will impose dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports starting September 8, targeting steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.
- Trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. collapsed late Friday after U.S. envoys introduced last-minute demands regarding Quebec culture, French-language protections, and restrictions on Canada's ability to forge independent trade deals, which Carney called "unfair" and "uneconomic."
- The U.S. enacted 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion in Canadian products on Saturday, triggering Canada's decision to match those levies dollar-for-dollar while Carney pledged "full tariff protection" for affected domestic businesses.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer confirmed on Saturday that Washington has no new talks planned with the Canadians, signaling a continued standoff that casts doubt on the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
- Prime Minister Carney warned that "America has changed," signaling Canada must reduce reliance on its southern neighbor and diversify trade abroad, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre urged national unity against "unfair attacks" on jobs and businesses.
