The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The United States imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods after trade talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government collapsed late Friday. Carney suspended negotiations, said Washington’s latest terms were “un-economic” and “unfair,” and pledged matching Canadian tariffs while saying no deal was preferable to the offer on the table. Trump responded Sunday that Canada “wants the benefits of being a State” and accused it of charging U.S. farmers high tariffs.
