Canada is fighting back in trade war with Trump. See what states it targets
Canadian officials say the tariffs target food, beverages and appliances to pressure U.S. negotiators as the trade dispute deepens.
Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. food, beverages, and appliances, with duties ranging from 15% to 50% on specific products to apply political pressure.
The move follows President Donald Trump's imposition of duties on Canadian steel, lumber, and aluminum, which prompted the current escalating trade standoff.
Unifor members recently marched on Parliament Hill to demand job protections, while manufacturers warn these levies increase costs for consumers and workers.
U.S. officials and companies urged both governments to return to the negotiating table, seeking a good-faith effort to resolve the ongoing dispute.
Analysts warn that escalating duties threaten to destabilize the economic relationship between Canada and the U.S., risking long-term disruptions to essential supply chains.
