U.S. Warns Canada Against Tariff Retaliation | Calgary News

The U.S. is sending a firm message to Canada: don’t expect leniency if it retaliates against new tariff threats. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer warned retaliation is on the table, but also signaled hope for cooperation. After President Trump threatened up to 50% tariffs on $29 billion in Canadian goods, Ottawa is pushing to eliminate existing auto, lumber, steel, and aluminum tariffs — currently 10-50%. Talks are heating up as Canada warns that imposing these tariffs could derail any deal, citing domestic political pressure. The U.S. insists key issues — alcohol boycotts, dairy quotas, and procurement rules — must be resolved before Canada can avoid Section 338 penalties. A potential deal is reportedly ready for review by Trump this week, with Prime Minister Carney still engaged despite vacation. Canada’s trade advisory committee gets briefed today, and both sides face mounting pressure to reach an agreement before August 19.
