Carney calls Trump as Canada pushes for deal before new US tariffs hit

There are less than 24 hours left until Donald Trump’s high-stakes tariff deadline

President Donald Trump’s belligerent approach to dealing with Canada marks an extraordinary departure from the traditionally cooperative relationship between the two countries.

Canadian officials are facing down the clock on Tuesday as new 50 per cent tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump are set to hit Canada within hours.

On July 20, the Trump administration invoked section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to order new 50 percent tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian exports to the U.S., including hockey sticks, certain items of clothing, wines, some dairy products, and building materials such as cement and plywood.
