Canada vows to match Trump's 50% tariffs after trade deal talks fail
- JSR_FDED 2mo agoCanada: Canadian officials had worked hard in good faith but “last-minute changes in the US proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic and called into question the reliability of any deal” USA: “Tonight, Canada declined to finalise the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week” How are we meant to resolve these different accounts?

- Terr_ 2mo agoWhat's the difficulty? This US Republican administration has screwed-up and reneged/lied about negotiations again, the same way it's been misbehaving for the past two years with multiple other countries. It's not credible at this point to argue that everybody else—including countries that were traditionally our closest allies—all simultaneously became the problem.
