EconomyTariffs spat: Carney bets Canada can defy Trump

Canada faces new US import penalties after Prime Minister Mark Carney refused to match Washington’s tariffs on China. Following the collapse of talks, the US imposed 50% duties on about $20 billion of Canadian goods, while Ottawa pledged retaliation. Carney’s independent trade stance has broad public support as other governments watch the dispute become a test of economic sovereignty.
