About this episode

The episode discusses the implementation of Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods and its implications for trade relations.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will move quickly to reduce its economic reliance on the United States as retaliatory tariffs took effect on roughly $20 billion worth of American goods. The tariffs match duties President Trump imposed on Canadian imports and follows months of strained relations and unsuccessful trade negotiations between the two countries. Amna Nawaz reports.
