U.S. Trade Rep Greer blames Canada for failed tariff talks: ‘They wanted more’
The U.S. said it offered tariff cuts on steel, aluminum and autos before talks broke down over Canada’s demands for more exemptions.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that trade talks with Canada collapsed after Canadian negotiators introduced new demands and sought additional concessions in the final hours.
- Greer claimed Washington offered Canada the best market access terms of any major exporter, but argued that Ottawa's late revisions disrupted the balance negotiators had previously reached.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended negotiations and recalled the bargaining team, citing last-minute U.S. attempts to impose restrictions on Canada's ability to negotiate independent trade deals with third countries.
- Following the breakdown in negotiations, the U.S. implemented 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, affecting items ranging from steel and aluminum to consumer products.
- Prime Minister Carney condemned the measures and pledged that Canada would enact dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs starting in early September.
