U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent out guidance for importers saying that the tariffs, which Trump first announced last month, would go into effect Saturday. They impact about $20 billion of Canadian goods, including hockey sticks, building materials, clothing, beer, and cheese.
But in a statement just before midnight on Friday, Carney said that “progress has 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,” the Prime Minister said. He accused the Trump Administration of introducing last-minute changes to the deal that he said were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
“New demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days,” Greer said. “This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States.”
“We cannot accept what they have offered, and we will not give what they have asked,” he said.
The growing rift between the U.S. and Canada
Polling conducted before the talks collapsed suggests that most Canadians supported taking a hard line in negotiations with the U.S.
Reflecting similar sentiments, a Léger poll from this month showed that 56% of Canadian respondents want the federal government to make no further concessions to Washington in ongoing trade and tariff negotiations—compared to 31% who favor flexibility.
After an article claimed that the country was in a “technical recession” this summer, Trump revived his call to make Canada the 51st state in the U.S.
“Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy,” Carney told reporters, referencing Trump's claims of “sabotage” after a teleprompter malfunctioned during his address at the United Nations General Assembly last September.
"Yes, it's a tough negotiation,” Carney said in response. “You can change the adjective and say 'nasty,' but for Canada it's a question of Canadian jobs, it's a question of the future of Canadian enterprises.”
With negotiations suspended and matching tariffs on the way, the rift has moved beyond rhetoric into a widening trade war.
