Trump's Tariff Threat: A Test of Canada's Trade Resolve The latest salvo in the trade war between the US and Canada has left many wondering whether Ottawa will stand firm against President Trump's 50% tariff threat.
On Monday evening, Trump announced that his administration would impose tariffs on a wide range of Canadian exports, prompting an immediate response from Prime Minister Mark Carney.
In a statement released Tuesday morning, Carney revealed that he had spoken with Trump earlier that day and agreed to "intensify" trade negotiations in the coming weeks.
