Trump says Canada wants 'benefits' of being US state as Carney says countries in trade war
Trump said Canada has charged U.S. farmers massive tariffs as both countries blame each other for the collapse of nearly completed trade talks.
- 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.
