Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick travels to Mexico for high-level talks with President Sheinbaum and top officials on US tariffs on autos and metals and other trade issues under the USMCA, as Ottawa and Washington clash; Mexico aims to push forward the six-year review and possibly an interim agreement while talks with Canada stall and a foreign investment screening mechanism is discussed.

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion in U.S. goods are set to take effect after weeks of dueling threats, with polls showing Canadians backing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s move to end talks, while President Trump warns of another tariff round, leaving industry wary about the next steps.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected claims by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that Canada wrecked a near‑completed trade deal, saying a mutually beneficial agreement is possible once the U.S. is ready. The clash comes amid looming tariffs and reciprocal measures, with Trump criticizing Canadian leadership while Carney argues Washington has moved its red lines, including issues over language and culture, as talks collapsed.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said there remains a mutually beneficial Canada–U.S. trade deal, but negotiations cannot resume while U.S. officials publicly disparage Canada; he called such rhetoric beneath the office. Talks collapsed after tariff disputes and contentious auto-industry terms, with Canada preparing retaliatory duties. Carney emphasized that the U.S. auto sector benefits from Canada and Mexico and warned that a serious, respectful approach could bring talks back to the table.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says there are no active US‑Canada trade negotiations as Washington piles pressure with retaliatory tariffs looming, while Canada has floated a Fortress North America concept but appears reluctant to concede. The White House hints it could up the stakes, and Ottawa blames internal White House infighting for the deadlock. The spat risks higher costs for cross‑border business and tourism ahead of the midterms, drawing reaction from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
Canadian PM Mark Carney is resisting President Trump’s tariff threats, walking away from talks and pledging to match new 50% U.S. tariffs dollar-for-dollar, a stance backed by provincial leaders and framed as a test of Canada’s sovereignty and economic resilience amid potential job losses.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Canada caused the collapse of tariff negotiations, claiming Ottawa changed its demands at the last moment as Washington prepared 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in goods (including wine, hockey sticks and cement); Canadian PM Carney echoed criticism of last-minute U.S. changes. The tariffs took effect, and Canada signaled dollar-for-dollar retaliation. This is breaking news.
After the collapse of trade talks, Prime Minister Mark Carney calls the fresh US tariffs a miscalculation designed to hurt and divide Canada and says Ottawa will retaliate dollar-for-dollar from Sept. 8 on about $20 billion of imports (roughly 5%), including wine, dairy, cement, clothing and hockey equipment, on top of existing duties on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber. The move follows tense negotiations over USMCA renewal, with Canada and various provincial leaders backing or urging renewed talks, while President Trump has yet to comment.
Two weeks of US-Canada trade talks collapsed after the US moved forward with 50% tariffs on about $28 billion of Canadian goods, with Canada saying it would match the duties dollar-for-dollar. Negotiators had been close on autos and other concessions, but late-stage demands derailed a deal. The tariffs target items from wine and spirits to cement and hockey sticks, potentially raising costs for consumers and disrupting supply chains and cross-border trade under USMCA rules.
Canada says it will match the US’s 50% tariffs dollar-for-dollar after negotiations on a new trade deal failed to produce an agreement by the deadline, affecting about $20 billion in Canadian exports.

The move raises questions about the future of the US-Canada-Mexico framework and could impact North American industry, with domestic support and business voices urging resilience.
Canada suspends negotiations with the United States after last‑minute terms derail a deal, triggering 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of U.S. imports and pledging dollar-for-dollar retaliation.

US and Canada say their tariff agreement is very close, with concessions on autos, metals, and farm goods.

Quebec’s premier says Canada-U.S. trade talks are far from finished as Premier Tim Houston and two others voiced support for the negotiating direction, though details remain fuzzy. The emerging deal reportedly aims to end some U.S. tariffs on agriculture, but Canada’s dairy supply-management system remains a sticking point. Ontario’s Doug Ford has not yet weighed in, and Ontario’s LCBO has played into past friction over U.S. alcohol. With the specifics of any agreement still unclear, key terms—especially dairy access—continue to be debated.
