After U.S.–Canada trade talks collapsed, President Trump's 50% tariffs on Canadian dairy and alcohol took effect over the weekend, and Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would respond in kind. Carney said he had put negotiations on hold and recalled Canadian officials to Ottawa, describing Washington's latest demands as uneconomic and unfair. U.S. dairy groups backed Trump, arguing Canada had repeatedly failed to honor USMCA market-access promises, while beverage-alcohol industry associations warned the duties would raise costs for U.S. hospitality businesses and urged both governments back to the table. The dispute follows U.S. complaints about Canadian restrictions, including provincial removals of American spirits that began last March.
