Trump says Canada wants 'benefits' of being US state as Carney says countries in trade war

The levies cover about $20 billion in Canadian goods and could raise costs for U.S. consumers and businesses, officials said.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump criticized Canada via Truth Social, claiming the country "wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!" amid deepening trade tensions.
  • Trade talks between Ottawa and Washington collapsed on Friday, with Prime Minister Mark Carney rejecting American terms as "unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."
  • Carney labeled the new 50 per cent tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods an economic "attack," vowing dollar-for-dollar retaliation beginning September 8.
  • Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated Canada walked away from a nearly completed agreement that would have reduced tariffs on exports to the American market.
  • Earlier, Carney accused the American side of using new duties to "hurt and divide," calling the measures "a miscalculation" that threatens bilateral stability.
