Trump Criticizes Canada Over New Retaliatory Tariffs on US Goods

US President Donald Trump hit back at Canada on August 23, 2026, after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs targeting American steel and dairy industries.

The new Canadian tariffs are scheduled to take effect on September 8, following the implementation of 50% US tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods on August 22.

Trump accused Canada of charging massive tariffs on US farmers for years and stated that the country wants the benefits of being a US state without the status.
