President Donald Trump has criticized Canada following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s refusal of a proposed trade agreement between the U.S. and Canada. Carney also announced plans for dollar-for-dollar retaliation against new American tariffs.

Trump expressed his disappointment on Truth Social, stating: Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one. He further accused Canada of imposing heavy tariffs on American farmers over the years, and declared that such practices will no longer be tolerated.

Carney responded by describing Trump’s new 50 percent tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods as an economic attack. He pledged to introduce retaliatory tariffs starting next month, signaling a firm stance against these measures.

Throughout his presidency, Trump has frequently used tariffs as a tool in trade negotiations, particularly with Canada. Trade discussions between Ottawa and Washington reached an impasse on Friday. Carney criticized the last-minute changes to the U.S. proposal, labeling them as unfair, uneconomic, and questioning the reliability of any agreement.

This situation is evolving, and details will be provided as they become available.
