Trump hits back at Canada after retaliatory tariffs announcement

According to Dawn (Pakistan), former U.S. President Donald Trump rebuked Canada on Sunday after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs. Dawn (Pakistan) reports that the new tariffs, amounting to roughly fifty percent on a selection of products from hockey sticks to cement, are set to begin on September eight. Per Dawn (Pakistan), Prime Minister Carney called the United States' proposed terms uneconomic and unfair, warned against concessions, and the U.S. Trade Representative said Washington is moving forward with retaliatory measures while no further talks are planned. With negotiations stalled and no new talks scheduled, the trade dispute between the two neighbours appears poised to linger.
