In response to various trade disputes, such as U.S. alcohol bans and Canada’s restricted dairy market, Trump has implemented a 50% tariff on a wide array of Canadian products. Canada withdrew from negotiations last minute, with Prime Minister Mark Carney stating that the U.S. demands were excessive and the offers inadequate. Canada has retaliated with tariffs ranging from 15% to 50%.
