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 on American officials.
The move follows President Donald Trump's imposition of duties on Canadian products including wood and related goods, which prompted the current escalating trade standoff between the nations.
Unifor members recently marched on Parliament Hill demanding job protections, while manufacturers warn that these levies increase costs for consumers and workers across industries.
U.S. officials and companies urged both governments to return to the negotiating table, seeking a good-faith effort to resolve the ongoing trade dispute amicably.
Analysts warn that escalating duties threaten to destabilize the Canada-U.S. economic relationship, as the trade war risks causing long-term disruptions to essential cross-border supply chains.
