Mark Carney Goes To 'War' Against Trump, Strikes Back With Retaliatory Tariffs And More · livemint.com

Canada and the United States are arguing about trade.

Trade means countries buying and selling goods to each other.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced tariffs on nearly C$28 billion worth of American goods.

Tariffs can make goods from another country more expensive.

This was described as a response to actions by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump has also threatened action against Bombardier, a Canadian aerospace company.

A U.S. trade official said the United States might match Canada’s tariffs.

The disagreement shows that trade tensions between the two countries are getting stronger.
