Canada Will Return to Negotiating Table when America Has 'the Right Attitude': Carney
Prime Minister Mark Carney said talks will resume only if Washington changes course, after new 50% U.S. tariffs hit Canadian goods.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade talks with the United States after President Donald Trump threatened to hike tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts, and steel to 50 per cent starting January 1.
- The U.S. imposed 50 per cent tariffs on various Canadian goods on Saturday, prompting Carney to promise dollar-for-dollar retaliation by September 8 in response.
- Flavio Volpe, president of The Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association, warned that 50 per cent tariffs on auto parts would halt U.S. assembly, while Canadian exports to the U.S. fell to 68 per cent in the first half of 2026.
- Carney announced an $11 billion contract for icebreakers built with Canadian steel, stating Canada will return to negotiations only when the U.S. adopts the "right attitude toward our industries."
- Trump claimed on Truth Social that Canada is "among the worst nations in the world to deal with," though CUSMA ensures tariff-free trade for nearly all agricultural products between the countries.
