Canada is set to announce retaliatory tariffs against the United States after relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply. U.S. President Donald Trump warned Canadian leaders on Monday to “fall in line” or face consequences “far WORSE” than existing tariffs, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of attempting to subordinate Canada.
The escalation followed the collapse of trade negotiations late Friday. The United States then imposed new 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, including items such as wine, furniture, dairy products, and others. Trump further threatened to raise tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel to 50% beginning January 1, 2027.
Carney stated that Canada would not accept any U.S. negotiating stance that treats the country as a subsidiary. He said American trade demands showed an intent to “destroy our major industries,” including autos, steel, and aluminum. The prime minister had earlier pledged to match U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses, though he later indicated Canada might shift toward more targeted measures.
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and other Cabinet ministers are scheduled to unveil the details of Canada’s response. Retaliatory measures are expected to take effect around September 8 and may target American steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.
