US-Canada tariff fight deepens after talks collapse
What's new: Trump imposed a 50% tariff on some Canadian exports, and Carney vowed matching duties on US goods.
Trade tensions between the United States and Canada escalated after Prime Minister Mark Carney ended negotiations before a deadline for a deal, triggering new tariffs from President Donald Trump. Trump moved to impose a 50% tariff on some Canadian exports, while Carney pledged to retaliate "dollar for dollar" against US exports. The dispute has stirred anger in Canada, where people interviewed in Montreal's Old Port described the standoff as damaging and unnecessary. Several warned that a prolonged tariff war could strain the two countries' tightly linked economies and broader cross-border relationship.
