No Talks Scheduled as Canada’s Counter-Tariffs Against U.S. Take Effect at 12:01 a.m.

Canada’s counter-tariffs on U.S. goods are set to take effect at 12:01 a.m., with no new negotiations scheduled before the measures begin. The tariffs follow escalating trade tensions between Ottawa and Washington and could affect businesses, consumers and cross-border supply chains. Canadian officials have defended the response as necessary to protect national interests, while U.S. authorities may consider further measures. Companies on both sides are preparing for higher costs and uncertainty as policymakers weigh options to de-escalate the dispute now.
