US Imposes 50% Tariffs on $20 Billion of Canadian Goods After Trade Talks Collapse
US-Canada trade negotiations broke down late Friday, triggering 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian imports including plywood, liquor, electrical equipment, and hockey gear. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to retaliate "dollar for dollar" to protect Canadian workers and businesses, sharply escalating tensions between the two long-time allies and raising the risk of an all-out trade war. Both governments confirmed the breakdown, with Ottawa issuing an immediate threat of countermeasures following the failed talks.
