美加贸易谈判于8月21日宣告破裂1。美国对约200亿美元加拿大商品征收50%关税,加拿大随即承诺以对等关税予以报复1。谈判最后阶段,美方改变条件,要求加拿大在对华贸易政策上与美国保持一致,这一要求被加拿大政府视为主权问题1。加拿大总理卡尼的强硬立场获得民众广泛支持,安格斯·里德民调显示四分之三的加拿大人赞成其做法1。
加拿大新关税将于9月8日生效,涉及钢铁、铝、乳制品、电子和农业设备等约200亿美元商品,占加拿大对美总出口3820亿美元的约5%1。经济影响不容忽视,皇家加拿大银行估计无协议将对GDP造成0.4%的冲击并影响就业,卡尔加里大学经济学家则估计可能导致约9万人失业1。此外,2026年前三个月加拿大对美旅游将减少近50万次,相关消费损失约8亿美元1。加拿大原计划购买88架洛克希德·马丁F-35战斗机,已订购16架,其余订单已暂停1。双方未规划新一轮谈判1。
Trade negotiations between Canada and the United States collapsed on August 21, prompting the U.S. to impose a 50% tariff on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods 1. Canada has committed to matching these tariffs in equal measure 1. The breakdown came after the American side altered negotiating terms in the final stages, demanding that Canada align its trade policy toward China with U.S. positions—a demand Ottawa views as a sovereignty issue 1.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has secured broad public backing for his hardline approach, with three-quarters of Canadians supporting his stance according to an Angus Reid poll 1. The new Canadian tariffs are set to take effect on September 8 and will affect approximately $20 billion in exports to the U.S., representing roughly 5% of Canada's total $382 billion in annual exports to America 1. The duties will apply to steel, aluminum, dairy products, electronics, and agricultural equipment 1. No new negotiations are currently planned between the two nations 1.
Economic forecasts suggest significant consequences from a prolonged tariff war. The Royal Bank of Canada estimates an agreement failure would reduce GDP by 0.4% and impact employment, while economists at the University of Calgary project potential job losses of around 90,000 1. Tourism to the U.S. is expected to decline by nearly 500,000 trips in the first three months of 2026, resulting in approximately $800 million in reduced consumer spending 1. Additionally, Canada has suspended remaining orders for Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets beyond the 16 aircraft already purchased, with plans to acquire 88 total 1.
The dispute echoes past trade friction: after Canada imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in 2019, China retaliated with matching duties on Canadian canola, cutting exports by half and resulting in losses worth $4.9 billion 1. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney cautioned that medium-sized nations must unite and cooperate in response to such pressures 1.
