However, that progress has not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians. As a result, this evening, I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the US and have directed Canada\u2019s negotiators to return to Ottawa. They have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute. However, last-minute changes in the US proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>This came as the two countries were in negotiations as the US is set to impose a 50 per cent tariff on about C$28 billion of Canadian goods from midnight, according to the Canadian government. <!-- -->Canada will respond with matching tariffs \u201cdollar for dollar\u201d, Carney said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>He also directed Canada\u2019s trade negotiators to return to Ottawa, saying the latest US proposals raised questions about the reliability of any potential deal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Carney said Canada would continue its strategy of reducing dependence on the US by strengthening its domestic economy and expanding trade with other markets. Canada\u2019s existing free-trade agreements provide preferential access to 1.5 billion consumers, he said, adding that the government expects to double that market access by the end of the year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The government will also introduce additional measures to support Canadian workers and businesses, building on nearly C$25 billion in support provided over the past 18 months, Carney said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Meanwhile, US trade representative Jamieson Greer slammed Canada over the failed talked in a statement read to reporters on a press call shortly before midnight.\u201cTonight, Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week. <!-- -->Despite the US offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>This came a day after US president Donald Trump had expressed hope for a deal. Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Trump was asked about the status of the Canada deal. He had said, &#8220;Pretty much, I think so, we&#8217;ll see. I&#8217;ve dealt with the Prime Minister, have a good relationship and yeah, we have to take care of our farmers. Our farmers are very important to me and the deal with Canada is moving along and we should be able to have a deal with Canada.<!-- -->&#8220;<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
