US-Canada trade talks collapsed Aug 21; Trump imposed 50% tariffs on $20B in Canadian goods. Canada's retaliatory tariffs on nearly $20B in US goods start Sept 8.
背景
The US and Canada, usually close allies and major trading partners, failed to reach a deal in negotiations aimed at forestalling US tariffs. The talks broke down over issues including aluminum tariffs, autos, culture, and sovereignty. Trump then imposed 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods, prompting Canada to announce retaliatory tariffs on nearly $20 billion in US goods, effective Sept 8.
