<\/p>\nUS President Donald Trump has hit back at Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs following the collapse of trade negotiations between the two countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump accused Canada of wanting the benefits of being part of the United States without accepting statehood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of Tariffs. No more!!!”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The comments mark another escalation between the longtime allies, with trade tensions worsening after three days of negotiations\u00a0failed to\u00a0produce an agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Carney said Canada would introduce new tariffs on US imports from September 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The measures will target products including American steel,\u00a0electronics\u00a0and other goods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They come after new US tariffs of 50 per cent were imposed on about $US20 billion ($28 billion) worth of Canadian goods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The duties affect around 5.5 per cent of Canada’s exports to the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump has repeatedly threatened to absorb Canada into the US since returning to the White House for his second term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His references to Canada becoming the “51st state” have angered Canadian politicians.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The latest dispute has also put further pressure on the future of the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most Canadian exports to the US have been protected from tariffs under the three-nation agreement during the past 18 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The latest US duties target sectors including wine, furniture, dairy products, cement, clothing, fishing\u00a0rods\u00a0and hockey equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Canadian trade experts have warned the tariffs could put vulnerable industries under significant pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Softwood lumber and wine producers are among those facing potential damage, with businesses also warning of\u00a0possible job\u00a0losses and closures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We will be mobilising our network of businesses in all regions and all sectors to brace for impact and make the best of a bad situation,” Canadian Chamber of Commerce chief executive Candace Laing said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The breakdown in talks came after Washington and Ottawa blamed each other for the failure to reach a deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Carney said the US had also put forward proposals that affected Canadian culture,\u00a0language\u00a0and sovereignty, although he did not provide further details.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Canadian Prime Minister was\u00a0elected\u00a0last year after campaigning on a promise to take a tougher approach to negotiations with\u00a0Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, one of the most outspoken critics of\u00a0Trump’s tariff measures, backed Mr Carney’s decision to retaliate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m glad he didn’t sign that deal because it was a bad deal. It was a bad deal for Ontario. It was a bad deal for the auto sector, the steel sector, and the manufacturing sector,” Mr Ford said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre also called on Canadians to unite against the US tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Canadians must stand united to defend our country against these unfair attacks on our jobs and businesses,” Mr Poilievre said.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President
