On Wednesday, August 27th, 2026, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that the Trump administration would not "just sit down and take" any further retaliation from Canada following Ottawa's introduction of a dollar-for-dollar match on tariffs. Greer emphasized that if Canada escalates trade retaliation, the U.S. would respond accordingly rather than acquiesce.

This statement comes amid ongoing trade tensions between the United States and Canada, with Ottawa recently announcing matching tariffs in response to U.S. measures.
