Mark Carney says Canada won't accept "a deal at any price or on any deadline" after U.S. tariffs

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. steel and dairy products starting September 8, after trade talks with Washington collapsed. The United States had just placed 50 percent duties on about $20 billion in Canadian goods. Carney said Canada was ready to remove its remaining retaliatory duties on strategic American sectors but would not sacrifice industries it considers vital. He blamed late changes in the U.S. proposal and said Canada would not accept terms merely to meet a schedule or pay whatever was asked. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Canada refused to finalize an agreement despite favorable terms. The breakdown threatens to further strain ties between the allies and could complicate the future USMCA review.
