The tariffs apply to just over 5% of Canadian exports to the United States, including on various goods such as wine, dairy, hockey sticks and cement. Carney said about $28 billion worth of goods would be tariffed. They do not apply to exempted goods including energy, potash, fish and critical minerals. The tariffs do not qualify for preferential treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free-trade agreement, which shielded much of Canadian goods from earlier U.S. tariffs.<\/p>\n
In announcing the tariffs last month, Trump said he aimed to counteract the “burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada\u2019s discriminatory treatment of U.S. commerce.” He had also previously threatened tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke pouring south into the United States.<\/p>\n
Trump administration officials previously told reporters on the condition of anonymity that Canadian trade practices on alcohol, automobiles and dairy products exported from the United States prompted the action.<\/p>\n
Most Canadian provinces have halted the purchase of alcohol from the United States in the past year. Canada has also imposed tariffs on automobiles from the United States, but not other countries, along with more restrictive tariff-rate quotas on cheese from the United States, the officials said.<\/p>\n
The deal that was being worked on between U.S. and Canadian trade representatives was to include “comprehensive market access for all American goods, economic security commitments, digital trade alignment,” Greer’s office previously said.<\/p>\n
In an interview on Fox News, Greer said the United States doesn’t have additional talks with Canada planned.<\/p>\n
Retaliatory tariffs to come Sept. 8<\/p>\n
In a speech from the Parliament building in Ottawa on Aug. 22, Carney said Canada’s retaliatory tariffs would go into effect Sept. 8. They will affect imports from the United States across sectors including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, Carney said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The tariffs apply to just over 5% of Canadian exports to the United States, including on various goods…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,6369,162,6132,434,111,6339,7699,401,30],"class_list":["post-179765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-canada","tag-commercial-policy","tag-donald-trump","tag-international-relations","tag-international-trade","tag-mark-carney","tag-tariff","tag-tariffs-in-the-second-trump-administration","tag-trade","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179765","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=179765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
