Canada on Tuesday announced counter-tariffs on US goods ranging between 15 and 50 percent, intensifying the trade war between the historically close allies.
Ottawa’s retaliation will take effect September 8, a timeframe earlier outlined by Prime Minister Mark Carney after US President Donald Trump’s 50-percent duties came into place Saturday.
Canadian officials said Tuesday that the retaliatory tariffs will match US levels, with impacts on industries including steel, dairy and electronics.
