US-Canada Trade War: Trump's Tariffs Meet Carney's Resistance

tagesschau.de (German)

US President Donald Trump has imposed new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Prime Minister Mark Carney to threaten retaliation. Trade talks collapsed at the last minute, escalating tensions between the two allies. Carney rejected US demands regarding the automobile sector and restrictions on Canada's trade with other countries. Canada plans counter-tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of US goods, effective early September, with broad political support across party lines. Business groups warn of job losses and threats to small Canadian companies. Carney says he will return to negotiations only if the US shows genuine partnership, not treating Canada as a subsidiary.
