After Canada pulled out of trade talks late Friday, President Donald Trump used a social media post early Sunday to renew his push for Canada to become part of the United States and criticize Canadian tariffs on American farmers, without giving details. The breakdown escalated the conflict: new U.S. tariffs on US$20 billion of Canadian goods took effect Saturday, and Prime Minister Mark Carney announced matching counter-duties to begin Sept. 8. Carney blamed Washington for changing terms after a tentative deal Tuesday, imposing a punitive truck provision and seeking to limit Canada’s ability to strike other trade agreements. The administration said Canada asked for excessive tariff relief in specific sectors. Politicians in several states, including Michigan’s governor, warned that the tariffs would raise prices and threaten auto jobs.
