Trump escalates trade war with Canada following Palestine stance

 The Guardian -  Trump is set to impose a 35% tariff on all Canadian goods not covered by the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement if the two countries do not reach an agreement by the deadline.

Canadian prime minister Mark Carney previously said tariff negotiations with Washington had been constructive, but the talks may not conclude by the deadline. Canada is the second-largest US trading partner after Mexico, and the largest buyer of US exports.

Carney followed France and Britain as he said on Wednesday that his country was planning to recognize Palestine at a meeting of the United Nations in September.
