Canada ayaa sheegtay inay ka jawaabto dhaqaale-garabka Mareykanka, bilowgii September 8
Ra'iisul Wasaaraha Canada, Mark Carney, ayaa sheegay in dalkiisu uu bilaabi doono dhaqaale-garabka (tariffs) ka jawaabta kuwa Mareykanku ku soo roonayay alaabta Canadianka ah, bilowgii September 8, kadib markii wada-hadallada ganacsiga u dhaxeeya labada dal ay ku dhamaadeen.
Dhaqaale-garabka Mareykanka iyo dhacdada wada-hadallada
Haddii hore, maamulka Trump ayaa bilaabay inuu ku rogo dhaqaale-garab 50% alaabta Canadianka ah ee qiimaha $20 bilyan ah, kaas oo ka mid ah lacagaha, beeraha, iyo alaab kale. Wada-hadallada labada dal ayaa ku dhamaaday maalintii Khamiis, inta u dhaxaysa waqtiga dhaqaale-garabka la filayay inuu bilowdo.
Waxaa la sheegay in wada-hadallada ay ahaayeen kuwo muhiim u ah, iyadoo Mareykanku uu horey u ogolaaday inuu si gaar ah u yareeyo dhaqaale-garabka alaabta Canadianka ah, laakiin waxaa jiray beddel-bixinta ugu dambeysay ee shuruudaha, taas oo keentay in wada-hadallada ay ku dhamaadaan.
Jawaabta Canada iyo qorshaha dhaqaale-garabka cusub
Mark Carney ayaa sheegay in Canada ay ku jawaabto dhaqaale-garabka Mareykanka, iyadoo dhaqaale-garabka cusub uu ku dhacayo alaabta Mareykanka ah ee sida tooska ah uga soo baxda, sida xawaaraha, beeraha, iyo alaab kale. Wuxuu sheegay in wada-hadallada uu ku shaqaystay muddo todobaadyo ah, laakiin beddel-bixinta ugu dambeysay ee shuruudaha ayaa ahayd mid aan la aqbali karin.
Wuxuu sidoo kale sheegay in Canada ay horey u heshay dhaqaale-garabka ugu fiican ee adduunku u baahan yahay, laakiin beddel-bixinta ugu dambeysay ee shuruudaha ayaa ahayd mid aan la aqbali karin, taas oo keentay in wada-hadallada ay ku dhamaadaan.
Mareykanka oo sheegay in Canada ay ka tagtay wada-hadallada
Wakiilka Ganacsiga Mareykanka, Jamieson Greer, ayaa sheegay in Canada ay ka tagtay wada-hadallada, iyadoo aan aqbaleyn shuruudaha la heshiiyay. Wuxuu sheegay in Mareykanku uu horey u ogolaaday inuu si gaar ah u yareeyo dhaqaale-garabka alaabta Canadianka ah, laakiin waxaa jiray beddel-bixinta ugu dambeysay ee shuruudaha, taas oo keentay in wada-hadallada ay ku dhamaadaan.

Hours after the Trump administration began enforcing 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that Canada will impose matching retaliatory duties on American imports beginning September 8, following the collapse of trade negotiations.
Negotiations Collapse Amid Last-Minute U.S. Changes
Trade talks between Ottawa and Washington disintegrated Friday night just before a midnight deadline for the 50% tariffs to take effect on $20 billion worth of Canadian products, including dairy, alcohol, cement and hockey equipment. Carney blamed the United States for the breakdown, stating that last-minute changes in the proposed terms were unfair and uneconomic, calling into question the reliability of any deal. He said important progress had been made in recent weeks toward improving Canada's position, but the final offer did not meet Canadian objectives.
Carney announced he had suspended trade negotiations and directed negotiators to return to Ottawa. He emphasized that his team had worked in good faith for more than a year, and his government would release details of the new tariff measures in the coming days. The retaliatory tariffs are set to come into force the Tuesday after Labour Day, targeting American sectors including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.
U.S. Accuses Canada of Walking Back Commitments
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer responded to Carney on social media shortly after midnight, saying Canada had declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier that week. Greer stated that despite the U.S. offer to provide Canada the best treatment of any major exporter, new demands and walk-backs by Canada had upended the careful balance reached in recent days. He noted that the United States had agreed to significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber.
The U.S. offer would have included supply chain coordination on aerospace, actions to address unfair trade practices, critical minerals cooperation, increased enforcement against imports produced with forced labor, and the announcement of formal USMCA negotiations. Greer argued that Canada's subsequent demands had disrupted these arrangements, leading to the current tariff enforcement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which warned businesses that officers would ensure compliance with the new rates immediately after the deadline.
Canada Vows to Protect Workers and Businesses
Prime Minister Carney declared that Canada will match the U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar to protect its workers and businesses. He asserted that Canada has what the world wants and will not allow any nation to determine its future. The retaliatory measures are designed to counter the economic pressure from the 50% tariffs imposed on Canadian goods, signaling a firm stance in the escalating trade dispute between the two North American neighbors.
The announcement marks a significant escalation in the trade war, with both nations now set to impose tariffs on each other's products. Carney's government has committed to releasing further details on the specific sectors and products targeted by the retaliatory tariffs in the coming days. The situation underscores the deepening tensions in U.S.-Canada relations and the challenges facing bilateral trade negotiations.
