The USA and Canada have no trade deal. The talks are over now. Donald Trump makes new taxes. These taxes are Straf-Zölle. They cost 50 percent for many goods from Canada. This means wine and furniture. Also milk and hockey sticks cost more.

The new rules start on Saturday night. Canada fights the new taxes. Mark Carney leads the government in Canada. He says: The USA was unfair. The USA wanted new rules at the end. So he calls his helpers back home. Now Canada also makes new taxes for US goods.

Canada wants to keep workers and firms safe. The Straf-Zölle apply to goods worth 20 billion dollar. The relation between the countries is very bad. Trump makes threats to Canada before. Experts say: The fight hurts the economy in Canada. Many small firms must pay more money now.
