US-Canada Trade Talks Collapse Amid Tariff Threats
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Canada walked away from the table to protect its sovereignty, showing it won't be pushed around even by its closest neighbor.
💡 Why it matters
This escalating trade war will disrupt North American supply chains and raise prices for consumers and businesses on both sides of the border.
Canada will impose a 50% tariff on $20 billion of US imports after trade negotiations broke down at the last minute. Prime Minister Mark Carney accused the US of unfair last-minute changes and vowed to match US tariffs dollar for dollar.
