US EditionCarney says a U.S. trade deal without some tariffs is unlikely
CANADA, JUL 15 – President Trump raised the proposed tariff on Canadian goods to 35 percent and set an August 1 deadline amid stalled trade talks and concerns over border drug smuggling.
- Ahead of the August 1 deadline for the proposed 35% U.S. tariffs, Canada’s prime minister indicated that a trade agreement without any tariffs is unlikely.
- The trade dispute began after Trump took office in January, leading to months of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods and retaliatory Canadian countermeasures.
- Carney emphasized the changed global commercial landscape caused by Trump and stressed building a strong Canadian economy including steel, auto, aluminum, and copper sectors.

- Prime Minister Carney indicated that discussions on trade are expected to become more intense as the August 1 deadline approaches, while acknowledging that any agreement will probably involve some tariffs due to ongoing uncertainties.
