Canadians bristle as US-Canada tariff fight deepens
What's new: Trump imposed a 50% tariff on some Canadian exports after trade talks broke off, and Carney vowed matching measures.
Canadians voiced frustration as a new tariff clash between the United States and Canada escalated after trade talks collapsed. The dispute sharpened when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney ended negotiations on Friday before a deal deadline, prompting US President Donald Trump to impose a 50% tariff on some Canadian exports. Carney responded by pledging to match the move “dollar for dollar” on US exports. In interviews in Montreal's Old Port, people from across Canada described the standoff as damaging and warned it could strain the deep economic and cultural ties linking the neighboring countries.
