Summary
The tariffs were initially supposed to kick in at 12: 01 a.m. Wednesday. But the war already under way is commercial and against its great ally and neighbour, Canada. The countries sold each other $880bn worth of goods and services last year.
Furthermore, The United States imposes new tariffs of 50% in Canada. The last-minute changes to the conditions proposed by the United States were unfair, unprofitable and questioned the reliability of any agreement, regretted the Prime Minister in a statement shared on social media. A North American deal could ease the threat.
In addition, These "additional duties" apply to more than $20 billion of Canadian goods imported into the United States, including cement, hockey butts or Canadian wine. But Mr. Trump extended the deadline for three days to allow talks to continue, but the two countries still could not reach an agreement in time. "They worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations, until the last minute.
Moreover, The two neighbouring countries, whose relations have deteriorated significantly since Donald Trump's return to power last year, have been negotiating a trade agreement for weeks to avoid the entry into force of U.S. surtaxes on a range of Canadian products.
