US-Canada Trade War Escalates

Canada's prime minister said he was 'reluctantly' announcing retaliatory tariffs as he accused the US of starting a trade war.

Donald Trump responded on Truth Social to the collapsed trade talks between the US and Canada, saying Canada wants 'the benefits of being a State, without being one' after trade talks collapsed late on Friday.

In his first comments since negotiations broke down, triggering new 50% US tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, Trump also said American farmers had been charged 'massive amounts of Tariffs' for years.

It comes after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called the fresh tariffs a 'miscalculation' designed to 'hurt and divide us'.

Carney confirmed he would match Trump's tariffs 'dollar-for-dollar' from 8 September, including levies on steel, dairy, appliances and electronics. The US and Canada are now in a trade 'war', he said.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed he would match Trump's tariffs 'dollar-for-dollar' from 8 September, including levies on steel, dairy, appliances and electronics.

The US and Canada are now in a trade 'war', with no clear path to resolution. The new 50% US tariffs will apply to a range of Canadian goods, in addition to existing US tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, automobiles and lumber.

They are limited in scope, covering about $20bn (£15bn; C$28bn) of Canadian imports, or about 5% in total, including wine, dairy, cement, clothing and hockey equipment. The prime minister said Canada was retaliating 'reluctantly' to protect its interests.

US negotiators, meanwhile, accused Canada of making 'new demands and walk backs' on terms which had been previously agreed. Carney rejected the assertion that Canada had made last-minute requests: 'We clarified what was on offer and were continually disappointed by the answers.'

The collapse comes after more than a year of on-again, off-again trade talks, which intensified in recent weeks after a US-imposed deadline to strike a deal or face further tariffs.

Canada says it will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down. Many Canadians are boycotting the US, so this is where they're travelling instead.
