Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the United States 'changed all the trade relations that were agreed upon' after Washington imposed an additional 50% tariff on certain Canadian goods, according to N12. The specific products affected have not yet been detailed.
Earlier Tuesday, The Zioneer reported that the White House had announced the 50% tariff at 00:10 Jerusalem time. Carney responded at 03:09, stating the tariffs were a violation of the trade agreement and that Canada would intensify discussions. The new quote underscores Carney's view that the US has fundamentally altered the bilateral trade framework.
The US-Canada trade dispute has been ongoing, with The Zioneer previously covering Trump's threats not to renew the USMCA trade deal and other tariff actions. The current escalation adds to tensions between the two neighbors.
