Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has suspended trade negotiations with the United States after rejecting last-minute changes to Washington's proposed terms, describing them as 'unfair' and 'uneconomic' and saying they raised questions about the reliability of any agreement.

The decision came as the US moved to impose 50% tariffs on roughly C$28 billion (about £14.88 billion or $20.39 billion) of Canadian goods. Carney said Canada would respond with dollar-for-dollar tariffs, while preparing additional support for workers and businesses affected by the measures.
