armlur.am The United States and Canada were unable to reach a new trade agreement by the end of Friday, so American 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods, including beer and cheese, will come into effect on Saturday, reports The Washington Post.
«Canada missed the opportunity to cooperate with the United States,» said U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer, noting that the proposed agreement was Ottawa's best offer for accessing American markets.
For his part, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that the U.S. made last-minute changes to the negotiation process, calling them «unfair, non-economic.»
The Prime Minister promised to respond if the U.S. exerts pressure on him.
«Canada will respond dollar for dollar to protect its workers and the trade sector,» Carney promised.
