Canada imposes tariffs of up to 50% on U.S. goods in response to Trump measures
Ottawa said the new duties on a range of imports are meant to shield Canadian workers and manufacturers from U.S. tariff pressure.
Canada has introduced retaliatory tariffs of as much as 50% on selected U.S. products after President Donald Trump’s latest trade actions, according to reporting from the New York Times. The move targets items including aluminum foil, dishwashers and fish.
Canadian officials said the higher duties are intended to protect workers, producers and manufacturers affected by the American measures. The announcement adds to a widening trade dispute between the two countries.
Trump responded after Canada unveiled the countermeasures, according to Asharq Al-Awsat. The exchange follows a series of tariff moves that have unsettled cross-border trade.
