Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs on the United States on Saturday (August 22, 2026), after walking away from a “bad deal” on trade in a deepening rift between the longtime allies.

But on Saturday (August 22, 2026), Canada’s Prime Minister said Mr.

“Needlessly picking fights with our allies and raising prices here at home. That’s Trump’s economic policy in a nutshell,” New York Governor Kathy Hochul posted on X.
