AGP Executive Report
Last update: 31 minutes agoCanada–U.S. Trade War: Prime Minister Mark Carney says the U.S. pulled a last-minute “power play” that would have restricted Canada’s sovereignty and future trade deals, after talks collapsed and Washington imposed 50% tariffs on about $20–$28B of Canadian goods; Carney calls it an “attack” and says Canada will retaliate “dollar for dollar” starting Sept. 8, targeting sectors like steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. U.S. Blame Game: U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer argues Canada declined to finalize terms and introduced walk-backs, while warning no new talks are scheduled. Provincial Unity Push: Ontario Premier Doug Ford backs Carney and urges premiers not to be “an outlier,” while B.C. Premier David Eby says B.C. will stand strong and calls any return of U.S. alcohol “absurd.” What’s Next: Canada says it will release detailed retaliation measures soon, as experts warn tariffs will raise costs for businesses and households on both sides.
