NEW: President Trump lashes out at Canada after trade negotiations between the two countries collapse, accusing America's northern neighbor of wanting the "benefits of being a State, without being one."
The comments come a day after Canadian Prime Minister Carney suspended negotiations with the U.S. and ordered Canada's trade team back to Ottawa as Trump's 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian imports took effect early Saturday.
US-Canada trade negotiations have been suspended as President Trump’s 50% tariffs on roughly $28 billion in Canadian goods take effect.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blames the breakdown on "unfair" last-minute changes to Washington's proposed terms and vows dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.
Pendant plus d’un an, le Canada a travaillé sans relâche et en toute bonne foi avec les États-Unis en vue de négocier un nouvel accord commercial global. Nous avons été pragmatiques, patients et persévérants. Notre objectif a toujours été d’obtenir le meilleur accord possible pour les Canadiennes et les Canadiens. Il n’a jamais été question de signer un accord à tout prix ou à l’intérieur d’un délai donné.
Tard hier soir, j’ai ordonné à nos négociateurs de rentrer à Ottawa. Nous ne pouvons pas accepter ce que les États-Unis nous offrent, et nous refusons de leur accorder ce qu’ils nous demandent.
Le Canada appliquera des droits de douane équivalents, au dollar près, à ceux imposés par les États-Unis, et ce, pour protéger les travailleurs, les agriculteurs, les familles et les entreprises du Canada.
Dans les prochains jours, nous dévoilerons les détails de ces nouvelles mesures tarifaires, qui entreront en vigueur le mardi suivant la fête du Travail.
Carney: "The U.S. introduced in the last hours, efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals. We're the partner of choice in many respects for countries around the world, and the Americans wanted to restrict that. Unacceptable."
BREAKING: Canada directly rejects Trump's trade deal, suspends all trade negotiations with the US, and says Canada will match Trump's new tariffs "dollar for dollar," per Carney.
Canada says it will impose retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of US goods, in response to the US 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods tonight
Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed.
The facts show that he was not the cause of death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he is not a murderer.
That is the truth.
I welcome the significant progress made between the United States and Canada towards a deal, which is subject to finalization and signing. President Trump’s leadership and determination have driven these negotiations, and I look forward to the release of further specifics. This news demonstrates what can be accomplished through focused, constructive engagement, and a shared commitment to economic prosperity. We appreciate the efforts of our Canadian partners in making this possible.
President Trump: We had a very good conversation with the Prime Minister last night, and we've come to a deal with Canada. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Our farmers are going to be thrilled.
Our manufacturers are going to be thrilled.
We have no tariffs going into Canada anymore. Canada was charging us tremendous tariffs.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "We've come to a deal with Canada... Very fair deal for both. The tariffs will be nonexistent for our farmers... It's good for everybody."
Brilliant move by President Trump. Announces a deal in place reviving the Keystine pipeline, while blaming Biden for its previous demise. Now Carney has to move ahead on it or it will look like he blew the deal. 4D chess by Trump.
If you've been watching me for any amount of time, you will not be surprised that Carney capitulated to U.S. demands on trade.
It was always going to be this way:
Carney is a Goldman/Brookfield man, and U.S. interests are his interests.
Elbows Up.
It’s true. Israel has lost the American public.
And when people see our soldiers eating prison food aboard the USS Lincoln… just imagine how much worse it will get over the next year.
If Carney gets Keystone XL, it will be a huge blow to the CPC and the Alberta Independence movement at the same time. He will have done more for Alberta energy than any Prime Minister since Chrétien (who oversaw the development of the Oil-sands). At this point, why vote CPC?
