Tariffs start after talks<\/p>\n

Carney said Canada would match the U.S. tariffs \u201cdollar for dollar\u201d and that the retaliatory tariffs would be concentrated in sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.<\/p>\n

NBC News reported the tariffs affect about $20 billion worth of U.S. imports from Canada, with the import taxes hitting goods including hockey sticks, building materials, liquors, and certain kinds of clothing.<\/p>\n

The BBC said the tariffs came into effect on Saturday after Carney announced the suspension of negotiations shortly before the Friday night deadline and directed negotiators \u201cto return to Ottawa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carney vs Greer<\/p>\n

Carney told reporters that \u201clast-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal,\u201d and he said Canada would not compromise Canada\u2019s sovereignty or undermine key industries.<\/p>\n

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer responded that Canada \u201cdeclined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week,\u201d and he added that new demands and walk backs by Canada upended the balance reached in the past days.<\/p>\n

The BBC reported that negotiators had been discussing a deal to reduce U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium from 50% to 25% and on Canadian autos from 25% to 15%, before the breakdown put the relationship \u201cin uncharted territory.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Ottawa, Carney also said the U.S. \u201casked too much and offered too little,\u201d while Greer told Fox News there were \u201cno new talks planned with the Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Retaliation timeline and impact<\/p>\n

NPR also said the U.S. began enforcing 50% tariffs on a slew of Canadian goods, and that U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a bulletin to businesses warning officers would be ensuring importers complied with the new rates starting immediately after the deadline passed.<\/p>\n

The BBC said the new levies are applied on a range of goods, about 5% of Canadian exports, including wine, dairy, cement, clothing and hockey equipment, and it reported financial analysts projected the new 50% tariffs could reduce Canada\u2019s GDP by 0.3% to 0.6%.<\/p>\n

In a separate account, the Guardian said the tariffs came into force on about $20bn (\u00a314.6bn) of goods at 04.00 GMT and quoted Carney saying, \u201cCanada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tariffs start after talks Carney said Canada would match the U.S. tariffs \u201cdollar for dollar\u201d and that the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178716,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[1737,111,56605,45297,10172,45296,45295],"class_list":["post-178715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mark-carney","tag-finance","tag-mark-carney","tag-mark-carney-says-canada-will","tag-media-analysis","tag-media-bias","tag-news-compared","tag-news-comparison"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
