President Trump has announced new additional tariffs on Canadian goods set to reach 50 percent. This decision comes after failed negotiations between the two countries, where Canada tried until the last moment to avert the tariffs.

Reports indicate that talks between the US and Canada have stalled without a compromise being reached. Both countries are accusing each other of the failure of these negotiations.

In response to the announced tariffs, Canada is planning to take reciprocal measures. Further escalation in this trade dispute is expected unless both sides can reach an agreement.
