Trump imposes 50 percent tariffs on Canada

On 21 July 2026, Trump imposed 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, and the New York Times wrote that Mark Carney held firm. Trump defended the tariffs, saying 'they need us to survive', and accused Canada of discrimination, according to Der Spiegel. Descriptions of the scope differ: ABC said most Canadian goods, a Czech outlet said part of Canada's products, and Asahi Shimbun cited hockey sticks. Reuters wrote that the US and Mexico resumed USMCA trade talks.
