Trump White House announces fresh tariffs on Canada in ramping of trade war
The move is the latest trade escalation between the US and its northern neighbor under the Trump administration. US President Donald Trump's administration on Monday
The move is the latest trade escalation between the US and its northern neighbor under the Trump administration. US President Donald Trump's administration on Monday announced it was imposing 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods.
The White House said the move was a response to Canada's "discriminatory treatment" of American goods. "Canada imposes certain tariffs and quotas on cars imported to Canada from the US, but not on imports from other countries," the White House said.
"Canada also administers these quotas in a way that compels US auto companies to invest in production in Canada instead of the United States." The tariffs will take effect 30 days after signing.
