Wirtschaft · 50% tariffs20 Milliarden $ Schaden: Gespräche zwischen USA und Kanada scheitern, 50 % Zölle folgenVerfasst 7. September 2026 um 21:22 UTCAnsehenTranskript0:00A 50% U.S.0:01tariff now sits on roughly $28 billion in Canadian goods.0:04It landed the same night the trade talks collapsed.0:07President Trump spent the weekend demanding Canadian companies move south.0:10His Treasury Secretary blamed the Prime Minister for turning the dispute into a0:13shouting match.0:14And Canada has a dollar-for-dollar answer set for September 8th.0:17The question now is whether this pressure campaign ends the standoff or pushes it0:22toward an escalation already on the calendar for January 1st.0:25The trigger was the collapse itself.0:27Negotiations broke late Friday, August 21st, minutes before a midnight tariff0:31deadline.0:32Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended talks and recalled his negotiators, calling the0:36last-minute U.S.0:37changes unfair and uneconomic, and saying the United States asked too much and0:41offered too little.0:42The U.S.0:42Trade Representative's office blamed Canada instead, declining to finalize terms0:47agreed earlier in the week and making new demands and walkbacks.0:51Three minutes after midnight on August 22nd, the 50% tariff under Section 338 of0:57the Tariff Act of 1930 went into force.1:00From the midnight tariff to a weekend of presidential posts to Canada's counter1:04tariffs next week, each step has been steeper than the last, and the calendar1:07already holds a bigger jump in January.1:09From August 23rd to 31st, the President posted repeatedly on Truth Social that1:14Canada wants the benefits of being a state without being one, that the United States1:18runs a roughly $60 billion annual deficit with it, and that the U.S.1:23does not need Canada.1:24Canada needs the U.S.1:26On August 30th, he said he wanted nothing from Canada, then urged any Canadian1:31company doing business with America to move south immediately, promising no tariffs1:35once they moved back.1:42The Treasury Secretary, speaking on CNBC around August 24th and again August 31st at1:47the G20 Finance Minister's meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, said the Prime1:51Minister came to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump agenda, insisted the United1:55States is not at war with Canada, and mocked Canadian military capacity.1:59He also claimed the prime minister was 20 points behind in the polls when he started2:02this.2:03That polling figure is not supported by any named poll.2:06The record shows that in early 2025, before the prime minister took the liberal2:10leadership, one aggregation put the conservatives at 47% to the liberals 20%, a2:1527-point gap.2:16It was the deficit he closed on his way to winning the April 2025 election.2:20The 20 points is a rough recollection, not a documented result.2:24And the window some have floated for Washington to revisit a deal, six to twelve2:28months, is also speculation, not a confirmed plan.2:31Canada walked away over three red lines.2:34It would not accept the U.S.2:35dropping heavy trucks from relief after passenger autos had come down to about 152:39percent from 25.2:41It would not accept limits on its own trade deals, and it would not accept terms2:44that undercut subsidies for French language media and bilingual labeling.2:48The president later posted he would never interfere with Canadians speaking French,2:52which does not remove language and culture supports from the list of deal breakers.2:55The U.S.2:56basket covers about 5% of Canada's exports to the United States.3:00Hockey equipment, clothing, cement, beer and liquor, wine, furniture, electronics,3:04plywood, honey, and wallpaper.3:06Canada's answer dollar for dollar and rate for rate takes effect September 8th,3:10about 20 billion US.3:12Dollars across 629 tariff items, with 50% on most American steel and aluminum,3:18plus furniture, clothing, some dairy, paper, gypsum, glass containers, and copper3:22wire.3:23The new 50% sits on top of tariffs that were already layered.3:26Steel and aluminum carry commonly cited 25% rates, with some derivatives at 15%.3:31Autos and auto parts run 25% on non-qualifying content.3:35Softwood lumber carries 10% added on top of existing 35% duties.3:39Separately, the President announced what he called the biggest oil deal in world3:43history with Venezuela, framing it as putting Canada on notice.3:47Canada's retaliation lands September 8th.3:50The US midterms come in November, and January 1st, 2027 is the date the President3:55has threatened to lift tariffs to 50% on all Canadian cars, trucks, Auto parts and4:00steel, a nearer hard date than any scheduled return to the table.4:04The consequences are already showing up at the ballot box.4:07In a by-election, August 31st, in Quebec's Saguina region, the Conservative-held4:12seat vacated when its member resigned for the Senate went to Liberal Daniel Gobail,4:16a dairy farmer and former head of Quebec Milk Producers, with roughly 51%, the bloc4:21near 33, the Conservatives near 12 to 13, on turnout around 42%.4:26The Liberals swept all three federal by-elections that day and moved to about 1734:31seats, described as securing the Prime Minister's majority with the win tied to the4:36trade war and defense of supply management.4:38But the tariffs themselves are not going anywhere.4:40Talks remain suspended with no new schedule, and panelists caution any eventual4:44agreement could prove unstable.4:46The only firm date on the calendar is the President's own January 1st threat to lift4:50tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel to 50%.4:55Unless a table reappears, that is where this standoff is headed.Artikel lesenChronologie der GeschichteHeyDexDas Kurzvideo ↗
