Trump Imposes 50% Tariffs on Canada After Trade Talk Collapse
U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the implementation of a 50% tariff on all Canadian goods following the collapse of bilateral trade negotiations on Friday night. The move targets tens of billions of dollars in Canadian exports, particularly in the energy and automotive sectors. The Canadian government is reportedly preparing retaliatory measures as analysts warn of significant supply chain disruptions across North America and a potential "super-aging" society crisis being exacerbated by the economic shock.
