The U.S. has imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods after trade talks collapsed, with both sides blaming each other. The move, framed as a response to Canada's refusal to accept revised terms, has led Canada to suspend negotiations and promise dollar-for-dollar retaliation. While the tariffs affect a small portion of Canada's exports, they raise tensions and could disrupt broader trade relations.
