Trump Tried to Strong Arm Canada. Mark Carney Walked Away Instead of Folding.

Описание: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney instructed his negotiators to walk away from trade talks with the United States on Friday evening, just hours before new U.S. tariffs took effect. At midnight, the U.S. imposed a 50 percent tariff on roughly $28 billion of Canadian goods. In his Saturday address, Carney called the decision reluctant, saying, "we recognize that some U.S. companies and some U.S. states are innocent bystanders in a dispute they did not want." He added that his government is "confident that it is in the best interests of Canada" to reject a bad deal. Canada's retaliatory tariffs, matching dollar for dollar, will take effect September 8, the Tuesday after Labour Day, according to the official Canadian government transcript. Carney's message was clear. Canada will absorb short term costs rather than accept unfair terms.
