The Conservative shadow minister for Canada-U.S.relations, Shuv Majumdar, has called on Ottawa to provide its negotiation plan with U.S.President Donald Trump at an emergency meeting of the Standing Committee on International Trade.

In a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Majumdar demands that the government outline its strategy to counter Trump’s threat of imposing 50% tariffs on Canadian products within 30 days.These tariffs are reportedly a response to provincial bans on U.S.alcohol, Canada’s supply-managed dairy system, and quotas on American cars.

Majumdar criticizes Carney for failing to uphold campaign promises to handle Trump’s demands, arguing that the government has capitulated to many of his positions.The situation highlights growing tensions between Canada and the U.S., with trade relations at a critical juncture.

Analysts suggest that the proposed retaliatory tariffs could disrupt bilateral economic ties, while also prompting domestic debates over sovereignty and trade policy.

As negotiations continue, the urgency of addressing Trump’s demands underscores the complexities of managing international trade agreements in a politically charged environment.
