Canada Declares Trade War with U.S. | Ottawa News

Canada is now “at war” with the U.S., says Prime Minister Mark Carney, after walking away from trade talks over steep U.S. tariffs on $29 billion in Canadian goods and demands that threaten Canada’s cultural sovereignty and future trade flexibility. Retaliatory tariffs are set to hit Tuesday after Labour Day, deepening tensions as the U.S. blames Canada for shifting positions and refusing to compromise. Carney warns any U.S. deal may be unreliable, jeopardizing ongoing NAFTA renegotiations. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and chief negotiator Janice Charette joined him in somber silence. The U.S. says Canada made new demands and walked back commitments, with no new talks planned. Ontario Premier Doug Ford backs Carney’s stance, vowing to fight back. Canada will introduce support measures for affected workers and businesses, with cabinet and provincial leaders meeting Saturday to chart a course forward.
