US President Donald Trump warned Canada of further action, saying it was "time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore," as trade tensions between the two countries escalate. Canada announced retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on more than 700 US products worth around $27.6 billion, effective September 8, targeting goods like dairy, cosmetics, steel, and aluminium. Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of seeking to "destroy our major industries" during failed negotiations. Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts, and steel to 50% from January 1, 2027, and floated renaming Lake Ontario as "Lake America" amid his dispute with Ontario's premier.
