U.S. Trade Rep Greer blames Canada for failed tariff talks: 'They wanted more'

U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Greer said Canada was responsible for the failure of tariff negotiations. She stated that Canada demanded higher tariff rates than the U.S. offered. The talks were aimed at reducing tariffs on Canadian goods entering the United States. Greer noted that Canada’s position was more aggressive than the U.S. proposal. The U.S. had offered a 5% tariff reduction on certain Canadian products. Canada requested a 10% reduction. The negotiations ended without an agreement. Both sides cited differing priorities. The U.S. will continue to monitor the situation. The U.S. trade team will review the impact on domestic industries.
