In an ongoing trade dispute with the US, Canadasaid on Saturday that it would introduce tariffs on several US products starting September 8.
The announcement comes in retaliation to the US imposing 50% tariffs earlier on Saturday on a broad range of Canadian products after the two sides failed to reach a trade deal on Friday.
"Canada will match Washington's new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses," Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in Ottawa.
"In the coming days, we will release the details of these new tariff measures, which will come into force the Tuesday after Labor Day,” he said.
While the United States had blamed Canada for declining to finalize the trade pact with Washington on Friday, Carney defended Ottawa's position, explaining, "We cannot accept what they have offered, and we will not give what they have asked."What products are affected by the tariffs?
