BREAKING: Trade talks between the US and Canada have collapsed and the US has imposed new 50% tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian goods.
Details include:
1. Canada's Prime Minister Carney vows to retaliate with "dollar for dollar" tariffs on the US
2. The tariffs will cover hundreds of items the US buys from Canada, such as plywood, liquor, electrical equipment and hockey gear, totaling ~$20 billion
3. US Trade Representative Greer said Canadian negotiators had "upset the balance" worked out over days of negotiations
4. The two sides had been discussing a deal that included lowering tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 25% and autos to 15%
The US-Canada trade war appears to be back.
Tonight, Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.
Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days. In addition, Canada is continuing to maintain its prolonged retaliation against the United States, including, among other things, flat-out prohibitions on certain American goods and services.
For decades, Canada has enjoyed the most favorable access to the U.S. market of any country. And from the beginning of President Trump’s trade program, Canada has continued to enjoy the best treatment in the world, even after – like China – retaliating against the United States. This week, the United States agreed to provide even better treatment to Canada, offering significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber.
The U.S. offer was also forward looking, and included a historic economic and national security partnership to cooperate on export controls, combat transshipment, enhance digital trade, and align certain external tariffs. The offer would have led to supply chain coordination on aerospace, complementary actions to address unfair trade practices, critical minerals cooperation, increased enforcement against imports produced with forced labor, and the announcement of formal U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiations.
This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States, which is the fastest growing economy in the G7.

Hey @BlakeSNeff— can you please respond to let people know why Tarryl didn’t hand the SD cards he took from the crime scene over to the SBI or why he appears to put the SD card in his pocket followed by popping it into his computer — within about 10 minutes of Charlie getting hit.
Was the footage edited?
Seems like a very odd thing to do in the immediate aftermath.
Also while I have you, you certainly made the public believe that after calling your mom you guys hightailed it to the hospital after. But that’s not exactly true, is it, Blake?
Do you remember what you did?

Tip of the iceberg up here in Alaska. Maybe this will illustrate (better than I’ve been able to explain) a bigger political problem driven by the GOP machine. It’s enabled unethical political dynasties by accepting #Murkowski’s Ranked Choice Voting, her nonsensical opposition to #SaveAmericaAct, and a haughty obstructionist mindset that hurts all Americans. And yet, GOP power-players actually increase her power with committee assignments, favors, endorsements, and FAILURE TO SUPPORT THOSE OF US WITH THE CLARION CALL bringing attention to political corruption for years. @JamesOKeefeIII@ScottPresler@foxnewspolitics@CNN@realDonaldTrump@POTUS@SenateGOP@johnthune@MikeJohnson
