US-Canada trade war erupts

Trade negotiations between the US and Canada collapsed, leading to 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called it a 'miscalculation' and Canada has retaliated.

The collapse followed last-minute demands from Washington, including tariff relief for trucks, which Canada rejected.

Both sides have now imposed retaliatory tariffs, escalating the conflict.
