The U.S. just slapped 50% tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian goods, triggering an immediate dollar-for-dollar retaliation from Canada — a dramatic escalation that threatens the future of the North American trade deal and sends shockwaves through billions in annual commerce. Talks collapsed after Canada pushed for concessions on steel, aluminum, cars, and lumber, while the U.S. refused to budge — accusing Canada of backing out of a previously agreed-upon deal. Prime Minister Carney blamed Washington for last-minute demands and called the U.S. terms unfair, suspending negotiations and sending his team home. The U.S. Trade Representative defended their offer as historic and forward-looking, with no new talks scheduled. This isn’t just about economics — it’s a major political rupture with real consequences for workers, businesses, and regional stability.
