Canada hits US with counter-tariffs on more than 700 products
Canada will impose counter-tariffs of up to 50 percent on $27.6 billion worth of American imports, targeting goods including wood products, appliances and agricultural items
Canada will impose counter-tariffs of up to 50 percent on $27.6 billion worth of American imports, targeting goods including wood products, appliances and agricultural items. The move matches US levies imposed on nearly $20 billion of Canadian exports, following the collapse of trade talks between Ottawa and Washington.
US officials cite disputes over dairy tariffs as a key driver, while President Donald Trump has escalated rhetoric against Canada on social media. Neither side has signalled willingness to de-escalate the growing trade dispute.
