Canadians bristle as US-Canada tariff fight escalates
What's new: After trade talks broke down, the US hit some Canadian exports with 50% tariffs and Ottawa vowed matching measures.
Canadians voiced anger and frustration as a new tariff clash between the United States and Canada deepened after trade talks collapsed. The dispute flared after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney ended negotiations on Friday before a deal deadline. President Donald Trump then imposed 50% tariffs on some Canadian exports, prompting Carney to promise retaliation "dollar for dollar" on US goods. People interviewed by the BBC in Montreal's Old Port said the escalating fight could damage the two countries' tightly linked economies and their broader relationship. The latest standoff revives tensions between neighbors whose trade and cultural ties are among the closest in the world.
