Canada Set to Announce Retaliatory Tariffs After Talks Collapse
Canada plans to announce retaliatory tariffs against the United States on Tuesday, following a sharp deterioration in relations on Monday in which President Donald Trump told Canadian leaders to "fall in line" or face measures worse than current tariffs [1]. Trump also threatened new 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts and steel, while Prime Minister Mark Carney said U.S. demands amounted to an attempt to destroy Canada's autos, steel and aluminum industries [1]. Talks broke down late Friday when Canada withdrew after Carney concluded Washington was asking too much in return for tariff relief, and the U.S. imposed 50% duties Saturday on roughly $20 billion of Canadian goods [2][3]. Carney said Canada had recognized that the United States had changed and that the two countries would not go back to their previous relationship [3].
