President Donald Trump’s latest round of 50-per cent-tariffs on $28-billion of Canadian exports are now in effect after a tentative trade deal between Canada and the U.S. collapsed less than an hour before a late Friday deadline.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said this weekend that he ordered negotiators to walk away from trade talks after the U.S. added punitive demands to the trade deal at the last minute. Mr. Carney also said Canada will retaliate to the tariffs “dollar-for-dollar” starting on Sept. 8.
On Monday, Mr. Trump issued a new threat and said he will raise tariffs on Canadian autos to 50 per cent and start tariffing auto parts on Jan. 1, 2027.
