Trade dispute between USA and Canada

23. August 2026, 18:15

The USA and Canada have a big fight. President Donald Trump makes new taxes. These taxes are high. They cost 50 percent more. They apply to goods from Canada. The goods cost 20 billion dollars. Wine and wood are part of this.

Donald Trump is angry at Canada. He says: Canada wants good things from the USA. But Canada is not part of the USA. He says: Canada treats farmers from the USA very badly. Trump wants that Canada becomes a part of the USA.

Mark Carney is the leader of Canada. He fights back. He says the US taxes are not fair. Canada makes own taxes now. This hits steel and milk from the USA. Carney says: We are in a war now.

Experts warn about a trade war. This hurts many companies in both lands. Prices for people can go up. Groups want new talks. Both lands have no agreement now.
