Canada's Plan for Retaliatory Tariffs on the US
Canada is set to implement retaliatory tariffs on $20.8 billion worth of U.S. imports in response to recently imposed U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that these 25% tariffs will take effect immediately, with a consultation period for additional measures that could target a broader range of U.S. products. The Canadian government aims to mitigate the impact of these tariffs on its own workers and businesses while negotiating for the removal of U.S. tariffs.
