Canada to hit back with tariffs after Trump threatens 'far worse' consequences
Canada will announce retaliatory tariffs against the United States on Tuesday, an official said, escalating a trade dispute after negotiations collapsed. The move follows Prime Minister Mark Carney's decision to walk away from talks Friday. US President Donald Trump warned Canadian leaders to "fall in line" or face consequences "far WORSE" than existing tariffs, threatening new 50% duties on vehicles, auto parts and steel. Carney accused Washington of seeking to dismantle major Canadian industries, calling the US an unreliable partner. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Canadians were prepared for an "economic war," while Trump personally attacked him and Carney. Ontario previously imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to three US states before both sides stepped back.
