Carney calls Trump’s fresh tariffs a ‘miscalculation’ after trade talks collapse
Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported41m ago
On Saturday, a trade dispute between Canada and the United States escalated significantly as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs against the US. The actions followed the collapse of trade negotiations between the two longstanding allies, with each side accusing the other of derailing days of talks.
The breakdown occurred after earlier positive discussions, leading Carney to walk away from what he described as a "bad deal" with unacceptable conditions set by Washington. Concurrently, the US implemented 50 percent tariffs taking effect just after midnight on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, including items such as wooden products.
