The sudden cancellation will immediately impose 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of imports on goods from Canada under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. A trade deal was near completion with the U.S. agreeing to bring down steel and aluminum tariffs to 25% and reduce automotive parts duties to 15%. Additionally, lumber would be removed from a 10% tariff. But in the end it wasn&#8217;t good enough for Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US Trade Representative gave a harsh assessment of the collapse. The USTR posted on X: &#8220;Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk-backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days. Canada has continued to maintain its prolonged retaliation against the United States, including flat-out prohibitions on certain American goods and services.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney said &#8220;last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal&#8221; and pledged to match US tariffs dollar for dollar. What he didn&#8217;t explain is who he&#8217;s really working for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney is the former chairman of Brookfield Asset Management, a firm with an estimated $23 billion in China-linked assets. He traveled to Beijing earlier this year and declared he saw opportunity for &#8220;progress and partnership&#8221; with China \u2014 positioning both countries for what he called the &#8220;new world order.&#8221; His commercial ties to the East have never received adequate scrutiny from the press in Canada or the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several commentators are pointing out that the midnight collapse occurs just weeks before critical US midterm elections. A prolonged US-Canada trade war creates economic headwinds for the Trump administration heading into November \u2014 which may be precisely the point. Julian Assange stated it plainly: &#8220;Carney suspended trade talks to influence the U.S. midterm elections. Carney takes his marching orders from the DNC. He&#8217;s betting the entire farm on the Democrats taking control of Congress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In walking away from the nearly completed deal, Carney cost Canadian workers a historic agreement covering USMCA formalization, critical minerals cooperation, aligned export controls, and joint enforcement of forced-labor import restrictions. The newly created crisis arrives at the worst possible moment for the Trump administration \u2014 engineered, critics say, right on time for election season.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/my.cdm.press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>&#8216;NO AD&#8217; subscription for CDM!
