> 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.
