Americans revealed ‘true nature’ of Trump trade war during negotiations, Eby says
Canada will match U.S. tariffs dollar-for-dollar as talks collapse, with new duties targeting steel, dairy and other key sectors, Prime Minister Mark Carney said.
- On Saturday, Premier David Eby held a Vancouver press conference following the collapse of trade negotiations between Canada and the United States, declaring that Canada will stand strong against incoming tariffs.
- President Donald Trump signed three proclamations in July imposing 50-per-cent tariffs on certain Canadian goods, citing 'discriminatory treatment of American products' as justification for the escalating trade dispute.

- These retaliatory measures take effect the Tuesday after Labour Day, as Canadian officials remain skeptical the United States administration will honor any lasting trade agreement without further shifts in rationale.
