No talks scheduled as Canada's counter-tariffs against U.S. set to take effect at 12:01 a.m.
The duties target hundreds of U.S. products and are designed to pressure Washington back to negotiations, Canadian officials said.
- On Tuesday, Canada will implement retaliatory tariffs on $27.6 billion of U.S. goods, ranging from 15% to 50%, in response to President Donald Trump's earlier Section 338 duties on Canadian exports.
- Negotiations stalled on August 21 after Prime Minister Mark Carney paused trade talks with the U.S., prompting Trump's 50% tariffs on nearly $28 billion of Canadian goods under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
- University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe estimates the combined U.S. and Canadian tariffs put 87,000 Canadian jobs at risk, while Canada's levies specifically target products mirroring U.S. items at rates of 15%, 25%, and 50%.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick accused Carney of seeking 'political leverage,' while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent compared Canada to a 'little yippy dog' on Fox News; no new meetings are scheduled to resume talks.
- Trump threatened to raise auto and auto-parts tariffs to 50% effective January 1, a move analysts warn could escalate the trade war and inflict significant economic pain on both nations.
