- Trade negotiations broke down over the weekend, with both governments blaming the other side for last-minute changes.
- On Monday, Donald Trump announced that tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, automotive parts and steel would rise to 50% from Jan. 1, 2027, in addition to the initial 50% tariffs.
- Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced Tuesday that Canada would impose matching tariffs of 15%, 25% or 50% on corresponding U.S. imports starting Sept. 8.
- More than 700 U.S. products, including food, clothing and cosmetics, are expected to be affected, with Canada citing protection for domestic companies and reduced reliance on U.S. imports as its goals.
Ultimately, the terms proposed by the U.S. Administration were uneconomic, unfair, and ultimately unacceptable. They asked too much of Canada and offered too little in return.— François-Philippe Champagne, Canadian Finance Minister, during a press conference
