The U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on some Canadian products on Saturday after trade talks between the two countries fell apart on Friday. In response, Canada said it would impose its own retaliatory tariffs beginning on Sept. 8. Negotiators for both sides had been working on a deal all week, at times signaling that an agreement was near. President Donald Trump had postponed the original deadline of Wednesday just hours ahead of it being imposed, saying that there was a soon-to-be finalized deal. Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's trade minister for the U.S., told reporters on Thursday that a deal was "very close." However, both sides blamed the other for not reaching a deal as the tariffs, impacting roughly $20 billion in Canadian exports, including wine, furniture, dairy products, cement, clothing, fishing rods, hockey equipment, went into effect on Saturday morning. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, in a post on X early Saturday morning , that "Canada declined to finali...

Iran maintained its harsh rhetoric Saturday against the U.S.' plans to impose tough new sanctions. "The United States' declaration of new economic sanctions on Iran is far more than continued unlawful 'economic warfare' against a single country," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said in a post on X. "It is an assertion of extraterritorial sovereignty over every independent Member State of the United Nations." U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Thursday that the Trump administration's plan to crush Iran's economy will likely negate the need for major U.S. military operations against the Islamic Republic. Bessent vowed that the U.S. will create "the greatest coordinated economic isolation in the history of the world" against Iran. He said he will hold a news conference on Monday to "talk about exactly what we're going to do." In a preview of the plan, he said that the U.S. will be tellin...

Image source, Reuters Image caption, Canada-US trade minister Dominic LeBlanc has been in Washington for two weeks trying to hammer out a deal By Nadine Yousif Senior Canada reporter Published 21 August 2026 Updated 22 August 2026 01:40 BST Canada-US trade minister Dominic LeBlanc said negotiators "have more work to do" as he left a meeting with US counterparts ahead of a midnight deadline to finalise a tentative trade deal with the Trump administration. "We're going to continue working up until the last minute," he told reporters in Washington on Friday evening. "Our job is not finished." Negotiators have until Friday night to hammer out the details of the deal or risk a fresh wave of additional US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods. LeBlanc spent some eight hours in meetings with US trade representative Jamieson Greer and other negotiators - one of the longest sessions so far as talks go down to the wire. Trump pauses new tariffs on Canada fo...

It has been a volatile year for global markets, rewarding some trades while punishing others. CNBC asked six investors about the biggest risks they see and how they are positioning portfolios in response. Despite differing views on the biggest threat to markets, the investors repeatedly returned to the same response: diversify beyond this year's biggest winners. Chris Rush, investment manager at IBOSS, told CNBC the biggest risk investors were taking was being "too concentrated in the winners of the past and missing other opportunities around the world." "It is easy to focus on the short-term noise," he said. "But with U.S. equities already making up such a large proportion of global portfolios, we think concentration is a bigger risk. U.S. exceptionalism has also started to fade from the levels seen before 2025, while rising debt levels among the Magnificent Seven add to the risks of continuing to chase the same companies."

Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. The Treasury Department on Thursday announced new guidance for its "Trump Accounts," which seeks to give American children tax-advantaged long term savings. It picked a group of low-cost index funds that the federal government says will help keep more money in the account holders' pockets. WHAT HAPPENED Trump Accounts are basically IRAs for kids under 18. The tax-advantaged accounts are funded through a few distinct avenues: a one-time, tax-free $1,000 federal seed grant; up to $5,000 annually from parents, family, and friends; employer contributions capped at $2,500 tax-free per year; and qualified private donors.

The U.S. and Canada continued trade talks Friday, as the clock ticked down to reach a deal before President Donald Trump 's new tariffs on hockey sticks, wine and other Canadian goods take effect. As of 5:30 p.m. ET, negotiators in Washington had yet to emerge from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative with a final agreement in hand. If no deal is reached by 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday, the 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion worth of imports will switch on. Trump, when asked Friday afternoon if the two countries have reached a deal that would avert the looming duties, said, "I think so. We'll see." "We have to take care of our farmers. Our farmers are very important to me," Trump said before boarding Air Force One. "The deal with Canada is moving along," he added. "We should be able to have a deal with Canada." Trump's latest comments differed from his declaration three days earlier that the U.S. and Canada "have a deal...
