Canada Walks Away from U.S. Trade Talks | Hattiesburg News

Canada abruptly pulled its trade negotiators from talks with the U.S. just hours before new tariffs—potentially hitting Canadian wine, hockey sticks, and cement with up to 50% duties—were set to take effect. Prime Minister Mark Carney called the proposed tariffs a violation of the free trade agreement, vowing dollar-for-dollar retaliation and support for affected workers and businesses. Despite recent progress, Carney deemed last-minute U.S. changes unfair and unreliable, prompting the walkout. U.S. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer criticized Canada’s move as a missed opportunity, claiming the U.S. offered favorable terms that were now undermined by broken commitments. The fallout underscores growing strain in the historic Canada-U.S. relationship amid Washington’s shifting trade priorities.
