Carney says new Canadian tariffs on US goods will come into effect on September 8
- Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on the United States starting Sept. 8, the day after Labour Day, following the collapse of trade negotiations.
- Negotiations with the United States collapsed on Saturday after the U.S. introduced 50 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in Canadian exports, prompting Carney to recall negotiators to Ottawa.
- Citing last-minute changes, Carney said the U.S. introduced efforts "at the last hours" to restrict Canada's trade independence and cultural protections, calling the terms "unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."
- Canada will match Washington's new tariffs dollar-for-dollar, targeting steel, dairy, appliances, and electronics, while Carney pledged, "We will do whatever it takes to support these businesses."
- Speaking on Parliament Hill on Saturday, Carney confirmed Canada is walking away from a "bad deal" with the United States and will diversify trade abroad in the coming days.
