US-Canada Trade

US and Canadian trade negotiations collapsed at the last minute, leading to the imposition of 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods entering the United States. The tariffs affect approximately $20 billion worth of trade. Canada has said it will respond with reciprocal tariffs on US goods, matching the US measures dollar for dollar. The two sides blamed each other for the breakdown: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he suspended negotiations because last-minute US changes were unfair and raised doubts about the reliability of any deal, while US Trade Representative Jameson Greer accused Canada of walking back on previously agreed terms and making new demands. The newly tariffed Canadian goods include wine, dairy products, cement, clothing, and hockey equipment. Canada's planned response targets US alcohol, dairy products, and cars. The US is Canada's second largest trading partner, with annual trade of about $700 billion. A Canadian business council official warned that the tariffs put around 90,000 jobs at risk and have created uncertainty for businesses.
