US-Canada Trade War Escalates | Belfast News

About this episode

The U.S. slams Canada with 50% tariffs on $20 billion in goods, sparking an immediate retaliatory response from Ottawa—targeting steel, dairy, appliances, and electronics dollar-for-dollar. Prime Minister Mark Carney calls Washington’s last-minute demands unacceptable, threatening Canadian auto manufacturing and sovereignty, while U.S. negotiator Jamieson Greer says Canada refused concessions despite offers to cut tariffs. With no further talks scheduled, the breakdown threatens the future of USMCA and signals a dramatic shift from decades of cooperation. Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford backs Canada’s tit-for-tat stance, as public sentiment grows—with even a petition to expel the U.S. ambassador gaining steam.
