Carney said the US made last-minute changes to the proposed terms that were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”At midnight, the US intends to impose a 50% tariff on roughly $28 billion of Canadian goods. Canada says it will match those tariffs dollar for dollar.The current rift is part of a trade war that has been building for more than a year, after Trump made tariffs the centerpiece of his second-term economic policy. The latest escalation comes as the US uses Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act — a Depression-era tool allowing tariffs of up to 50% against countries accused of discriminating against US businesses.

Carney said the US made last-minute changes to the proposed terms that were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
“We cannot accept what they’ve offered and we will not give what they’ve asked,” he said.
At midnight, the US intends to impose a 50% tariff on roughly $28 billion of Canadian goods. Canada says it will match those tariffs dollar for dollar.
