Canada’s Tariffs Take Effect as It Seeks Closer EU Ties and Awaits Trump Response
Canada matched the latest U.S. measures dollar for dollar, hitting hundreds of American products and covering about $20 billion in goods, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Canada implemented $20 billion in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, a move Prime Minister Mark Carney defended as necessary to protect domestic workers.
- Relations collapsed after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods and suggested Canada become the "51st state," fueling anger and rallying support for Carney.
- The retaliatory tariffs hit hundreds of American products at rates of 15%, 25%, or 50%, covering roughly 6% of the $333.6 billion the United States exported to Canada last year.
- Former U.S. trade official Wendy Cutler observed Prime Minister Carney holds a 70% approval rating, yet both nations remain hesitant to reengage "in fear of looking weak."
- Canada is accelerating trade diversification to reduce reliance on the U.S., with Carney stating, "We have been steering our economy toward trusted partners.
