Canada has announced a package of retaliatory counter-tariffs ranging from 15 percent to 50 percent on American goods, escalating an ongoing trade war between the two allies. The retaliatory measures, which include support measures and are set to take effect on September 8, follow earlier 50-percent duties implemented by US President Donald Trump.
Depending on the reporting source, the targeted US goods span more than 800 specific products or roughly 700 products, with the total value of the retaliatory tariff blitz reported at either US$20 billion or CA$27.6 billion. The timeframe for the implementation was previously outlined by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
