Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled his country’s negotiators from trade talks with the U.S. on Friday evening, just hours before the Trump administration’s new round of tariffs were set to go into effect.
This decision followed weeks of intense negotiations between the two nations over President Trump’s proposed 50 percent tariffs on over $20 billion worth of Canadian goods.
These new tariffs — which were originally scheduled to go into effect on Wednesday — would impact a range of goods, including wine, hockey sticks, cement, plywood and more. The prime minister has said these new policies are in “direct violation” of the free trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Carney vowed to “match those tariffs dollar for dollar” in a statement released Friday evening on social media. He added that Canada’s government will present “additional measures” to support workers and business owners in the country in the coming days.
While the prime minister noted Canadian negotiators made “significant progress” in recent weeks, he said this had “not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians.”
“As a result, this evening, I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada’s negotiators to return to Ottawa,” he said in his statement.
“They have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute,” Carney continued. “However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer slammed Canada over its decision to walk away from these discussions in a statement shared on his official social media page.

Looks like Canucks have copied the Iran process on negotiations: waste time, lie, walk away.
Not surprising considering who Canucks put into power.
Carney vowed to “match those tariffs dollar for dollar”
Go ahead.
We don’t feel your miniscule ministrations, with an econome 20x larger
Both the Canadians and the Iranians are anticipating that the Democrats will take over Congress after the midterms in November so they’ll get a better deal by then.
The climate nazi’s pounced on Carney when they heard Keystone was back on the table. Being the weak cuck he is he backed off from the possible agreement.
Given Carney's bona fides, I doubt it was the Canadians as a people who put him in power. Trudeau had become poison, so the WEF axis 'rebranded', swapping out Carney for Trudeau.
Its interesting to see what happened to some of the WEF types after the Covid tyranny: Jacinda Ardern has gone to ground somewhere, Chrystia Freeland is now back home in Ukraine, Trudeau is awol and chumming with Katy Perry, Fauci has an autopen pardon and is pleading the 5th. But those are just the 'customer facing' people.
Canada is a Chinese colony

No , Carney is a member of the Chinese Communist Party ,LOL
“including wine, hockey sticks”. Oh no, my wine and hockey sticks from Canada are going to cost more.
So, now does Ayatollah Carney and Canada mine the St Lawrence Seaway
Canada provides the majority of potash to the US. Could be wrong on that.
And you know this how?
Good comments.
F Canada. Who needs those F-ers.
It’s time to take the 51st state proposal seriously.
Carney has the exact resume of a Davos-London globalist. He even was elevated to Prime Minister through an extremely rigged process.
For the Davos-London types, Carney is to the USA, what they made Zelensky to Russia - a wedge, and a proxy.
The price of moose jerky is about to skyrocket.
The Prediction markets seem to agree from I have heard. They are electing IslamoCommies in many places.
LOL! Never happen. And would wager whatever that it won’t.
