Trump orders Canadian goods removed from U.S. federal procurement lists after tariff retaliation

U.S.-Canada trade tensions widened on Sept. 8 after President Donald Trump directed the General Services Administration and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to remove Canadian-origin goods from the federal government’s Multiple Award Schedule procurement lists. The move came shortly after Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products took effect and extends the dispute beyond import duties into government purchasing, a market that the report said channels more than $50 billion a year. According to BlockTempo, Trump described the decision on Truth Social as a way to end what he called a "Canada trade scam," arguing that Ottawa had long kept U.S. companies out of its own government procurement market while allowing Canadian firms to bid on U.S. contracts. The report said that, unlike tariffs, removal from the schedule affects supplier eligibility rather than pricing, which could make the damage harder to reverse because firms would need to go through a full qualification process again. The report also said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney framed Ottawa’s response as a reaction to unequal trade terms. Canada’s latest retaliatory package covers about C$27.6 billion in U.S. goods and took effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 8. Looking ahead, Carney is expected to host a global investment summit in Toronto and then travel to Strasbourg to speak before the European Parliament as Canada seeks to reduce its dependence on the U.S.

Canada’s countermeasures to new U.S. tariffs take effect, Carney says reliance on U.S. will be reduced

Canada’s countermeasures against newly increased U.S. tariffs have officially taken effect, according to a ChainCatcher newsflash. Prime Minister Carney then delivered a nationwide video address, calling on the public to unite in response to the Canada-U.S. trade war. In that message, Carney said Canada will reduce its dependence on the United States. He also said that while doing so will come at a cost, that cost is minor compared with the cost of standing still. The update did not disclose details on the specific measures that took effect, nor did it provide a timeline beyond saying the response is now in force. The statement focused on the policy move itself and Carney’s call for national unity.

Canada Starts Tariffs on Roughly 700 U.S. Goods, With Rates as High as 50%

Canada has begun imposing tariffs of 15% to 50% on roughly 700 U.S. products, matching a previous U.S. move that applied tariffs of up to 50% on about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods. According to the report, the Canadian list spans ten major categories, including steel and aluminum, dairy products, home appliances, agricultural machinery, pulp, plastics, electronics, lumber, cosmetics, cheese, and motorcycles, with a total value of about C$27.6 billion, or roughly $19.9 billion. The report said the dispute could hit exporters in Michigan and Ohio, two states with close trade ties to Canada and political importance ahead of the November midterm elections. It also highlighted risks to U.S. supply chains tied to Bombardier. The Canadian aircraft maker, which Trump had previously targeted, works with more than 2,800 suppliers in the United States. Its Global 7500 business jet relies on wings from Texas, avionics from Iowa, and engines from Indiana. Former Trudeau government trade adviser Brian Clow said Canada’s aim is not to prolong the trade war but to end it sooner. Still, industry representatives and Oxford Economics warned the conflict may deepen, with Oxford estimating Canada’s output could fall by about 0.3 percentage points versus its baseline scenario if tariffs, retaliation, and federal support spending are all included.

Trump Imposes 50% Tariff on $20B Canadian Goods; Carney Vows Retaliation

According to CryptoBriefing, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian imports on August 22, 2026, sharply escalating trade tensions between the two nations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded by pledging equivalent retaliatory measures effective September 8. The trade dispute stems from U.S. dissatisfaction with an annual trade deficit of roughly $50 billion, particularly in energy and automotive sectors, raising concerns about bilateral economic relations and the stability of North American supply chains.

Trump’s Canada attacks draw backlash from former U.S. military officials and Republicans

Pressure on Canada from the Trump administration escalated after U.S.-Canada trade talks collapsed last Friday, but the rhetoric is now drawing criticism inside the United States. Former national security officials, retired military figures and Republican lawmakers have publicly objected, saying the comments are embarrassing the U.S. and damaging relations with a long-standing ally. Trump on Tuesday renewed his attacks on Canada, floated renaming Lake Ontario as "American Lake," and said the U.S. did not expect to do much more business with Ontario. Vice President JD Vance had earlier joked in a Maine speech that Canada was "a state" and again referenced the idea of it becoming the "51st state." Transportation Secretary Duffy also said Canada had "no military," a claim rebutted by retired U.S. officers. At the same time, the trade fight is intensifying: Washington announced new tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian goods on Saturday, and Trump said Monday he would raise tariffs on Canadian autos and auto parts to 50%. Canada responded Tuesday with 50% tariffs on multiple categories of U.S. goods.

U.S.-Canada trade talks collapse as Washington imposes 50% tariffs and Ottawa sets Sept. 8 response

Trade talks between the United States and Canada broke down at the last minute, quickly leading to a fresh round of tariff escalation between the two countries. According to CNBC, the negotiations fell apart late Friday, and the U.S. moved on Saturday to impose 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian products. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa will begin dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on Sept. 8. Carney said the U.S. was "asking for too much and offering too little" and accused Washington of adding new demands in the final stage of negotiations. Those requests, he said, involved Canada’s auto industry, cultural protections, and French-language guarantees. Carney described the situation as a trade war between the two countries. Canada’s planned response will target steel, dairy products, agricultural machinery, pulp, and paper. Carney also said Canada had been prepared to remove existing retaliatory tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles if the U.S. lowered its own measures at the same time, but no deal was reached. The report said markets are now watching how the renewed tariff conflict could affect broader risk sentiment, including spillover into crypto and other risk assets around the Sept. 8 implementation date.
